Onyeka Okongwu has posted 5.4 defensive boards per game over the last 5 games while playing on the road, 1.2 higher than he's posted overall this season on the road.The 2nd-fastest pace visiting team in the league over the last 10 games has been the Atlanta Hawks.The Atlanta Hawks have been the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA as the home team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide new chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are at home, opposing squads have captured 9.9 offensive rebounds per game (7th-fewest in the league) vs. the Nuggets (lessening possessions that could otherwise create added chances for offense).Onyeka Okongwu should see an increase in output in all stat categories considering having the home court advantage in this game.
