Favors Under
The Boston Celtics have played at the 7th-most lethargic tempo in the league over the last 5 games on their home court.
The Knicks have played at the least up-tempo tempo in the NBA over the last 15 games in their home stadium, which should lead to decreased plays for the Boston Celtics.
The Boston Celtics check in as the 9th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games when playing at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce further chances for scoring and assists).
