Nikola Jokic has been called for 2.5 personal fouls per game this year, making him one of the most foul-prone players in the league (86th percentile).The Nuggets have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 25 games as the road team.The Miami Heat have played at the 3rd-slowest pace-of-play in the NBA this year, which should decrease plays for the Denver Nuggets.The Denver Nuggets check in as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).Nikola Jokic will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing on the road tends to decrease player performance in all facets of the game.
