The Bulls have played at the 2nd-most sluggish pace in the league over the last 10 games on their home court, which ought to decrease opportunities for the Grizzlies.When playing at home, the Bulls have allowed the 7th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.4) in the NBA to opposing clubs over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).This matchup may be a strong one for getting to the free throw line; when the Bulls are on their home court, the other team have attempted a massive 28.0 free throws per game over the last 5 games (2nd-most in the NBA).Santi Aldama will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage tends to lowers stat production across the board.
