Patrick Beverley has averaged just 2.0 assists per game this year, significantly less than his 2.9 assists per game last year.The 76ers have played at the 5th-most lethargic pace in the league as the visting team this year.The 76ers have been the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league with the home court advantage since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer chances for scoring and assists).The Hawks have given up the 10th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.4) in the NBA to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create added opportunities for scoring and assists).Patrick Beverley stands to suffer a drop-off in efficiency in all stat categories considering being on the road in this matchup.
