Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been called for 3.8 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.2 higher than he's been called for over the course of the year.The Thunder will likely see a decline in possessions in this game from sharing the court with the 2nd-slowest pace-of-play team in the league over the last 25 games (the Heat).The Oklahoma City Thunder have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).In contrast to last season's 9.8 clip, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's free throws hit have declined this season to 7.7 per game.Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road generally lowers player production in all stat categories.
