The Pacers are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities today from competing against the most lethargic pace-of-play home team in the league this year (the Heat).Offensive rebounds preserve possession and create further chances for scoring and assists, but the Indiana Pacers grade out 2ndworst in in the NBA with just 9.0 offensive boards per game this year.Obi Toppin will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing without the home court advantage tends to decrease stat production in all facets of the game.
