Out of all players in the league, Scottie Barnes places in the 80th percentile (high is bad, in this case) for unsuccessful three-pointers, totaling an enormous 3.2 per game this year.When it comes to scoring, the Toronto Raptors's unimpressive 104.0 points per game places 2nd-worst in the NBA over the last 5 games.The Raptors are expected to suffer a reduction in plays in this contest from facing the 4th-slowest pace-of-play home offense in the NBA this year (the 76ers).Over the last 10 games when they are away from home, opposing starting PFs have attempted 2.8 free throws per game (7th-fewest in the league) vs. the 76ers, finding it difficult to get to the foul line.Scottie Barnes will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home court usually lowers player performance in all facets of the game.
