With respect to shooting, the Knicks's unimpressive 46.7% field goal rate settles in as the 8th-worst in the league this year.The 76ers have allowed the 2nd-most offensive boards per game (13.4) in the NBA to opposing teams over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create new chances for scoring and assists).Quentin Grimes has sunk just 40.0% of his foul shots this season, a sizeable decrease from his 78.5 rate last season.Over the last 5 games, opposing teams have attempted 26.6 free throws per game (4th-most in the league) vs. the Philadelphia 76ers, easily managing to get to the charity stripe.Quentin Grimes will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home stadium tends to reduce player production in all stat categories.
