Royce O'Neale has accumulated 2.2 personal fouls per game when playing away from home this year, placing him in the 75th percentile -- among the NBA's most foul-prone.The 6th-slowest tempo away team in the league this year has been the Suns.The Suns are expected to see a decline in plays today from competing against the 2nd-most sluggish pace-of-play team in the league over the last 5 games (the Portland Trail Blazers).The Suns rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).Royce O'Neale will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home city generally reduces player production in all stat categories.
