Nikola Jokic has put up 10.3 defensive rebounds per game while on the road this year, putting him in the 100th percentile -- among the NBA's best by this metric.The Nuggets will likely get a boost in opportunities today from competing against the 6th-quickest pace visiting offense in the league over the last 10 games (the Magic).When playing on the road, the Orlando Magic have allowed the least offensive boards per game (6.7) in the NBA to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).
