The Celtics have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo pace in the league over the last 5 games as the visting team.The Boston Celtics are expected to see a decline in opportunities today from sharing the court with the 3rd-slowest pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 20 games (the Denver Nuggets).The Celtics rank as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce further chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 10 games when they are on the road, opposing squads have secured 11.4 offensive boards per game (5th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Denver Nuggets (continuing possessions that can create bonus chances for offense).Payton Pritchard will not have the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road generally worsens player performance for all stats.
