Royce O'Neale has committed 2.4 personal fouls per game this year, putting him among the most foul-prone players in the NBA (79th percentile).This matchup is a favorable one; when the Nuggets are on their home court, they have given up the most points per game in the NBA to the other team over the last 15 games (121.8).The Brooklyn Nets check in as the 10th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).This matchup may be a favorable one for getting to the foul line; when the Nuggets are at home, opposing teams have attempted a colossal 30.0 free throws per game over the last 5 games (most in the league).Royce O'Neale will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city tends to lowers player production in all stat categories.
