Pascal Siakam has been called for just 2.4 personal fouls per game this season, significantly lower than his 3.2 fouls per game last season.The matchup against Boston is a favorable one for 3-point attempts; when the Boston Celtics are on the road, the opposition's starting PFs have totaled the 28th-most 3-point attempts per game in the league this year (6.2).The Toronto Raptors rank as the best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA as the home team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to additional opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are the visiting squad, their opposition has secured 10.3 offensive rebounds per game (9th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Celtics (turning over possessions that could otherwise generate bonus chances for offense).Pascal Siakam will receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing at home usually increases player production for all stats.
