Obi Toppin has successfully made a lowly 24.0% of his attempts from downtown this year, quite a bit lower than his 37.9 rate last year.The Toronto Raptors have played at the 4th-most sluggish tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should decrease possessions for the Indiana Pacers.The Indiana Pacers have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Obi Toppin will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home court tends to lower player performance in all facets of the game.
