The least up-tempo tempo road team in the league over the last 25 games has been the Miami Heat.The Portland Trail Blazers have played at the 3rd-most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA on their home court this year, which should reduce opportunities for the Miami Heat.The Heat check in as the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA on the road this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).Nikola Jovic will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home stadium tends to lower player performance in all stat categories.
