Onyeka Okongwu has committed 3.2 personal fouls per game this year, putting him among the most-whistled players in the league (97th percentile).The Atlanta Hawks check in as the 2nd-least aggressive offense in the league this year in terms of attempts from downtown.The Nets have played at the 2nd-most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games with the home court advantage, which should lead to decreased plays for the Hawks.On their home court, the Nets have allowed the 2nd-most offensive rebounds per game (11.5) in the NBA to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce additional chances for scoring and assists).This matchup may be a positive one for getting to the free throw line; when the Nets are at home, the other team have attempted a whopping 25.0 free throws per game over the last 15 games (7th-most in the NBA).
