Paul Reed has averaged 3.4 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.1 more than he's averaged over the course of the year.The Chicago Bulls have played at the least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA this year, which should reduce opportunities for the Philadelphia 76ers.Offensive rebounds maintain possession and generate further opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Philadelphia 76ers rank 1stworst in in the NBA with a mere 7.6 offensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games.Over the last 15 games when they are the visiting squad, their opposition has brought down 10.9 offensive rebounds per game (10th-most in the NBA) vs. the Bulls (retaining possessions that can produce additional chances for offense).Paul Reed will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage generally lowers stat production for all stats.
