The 4th-most sluggish pace offense in the NBA this year has been the Nets.The Nets are expected to suffer a reduction in possessions in this contest from sharing the court with the 2nd-slowest tempo offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Los Angeles Lakers).Offensive rebounds maintain possession and bring about additional chances for scoring and assists, but the Nets grade out 7thworst in in the NBA with only 9.6 offensive rebounds per game this year.Nic Claxton will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home stadium tends to worsen stat production in all stat categories.
