Nikola Jokic has tallied 2.4 personal fouls per game with the home court advantage this year, ranking in the 78th percentile -- among the NBA's most-whistled.The matchup against Dwight Powell is a difficult one for 3-point attempts; when guarding fellow starting Cs this year, they have attempted a mere 1.0 three-pointers per game (8th percentile).The Mavericks have played at the most sluggish pace in the league on the road this year, which should reduce plays for the Nuggets.The Denver Nuggets have been the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
