Among all players in the NBA, Simone Fontecchio places in the 15th percentile for personal fouls, compiling a measly 1.0 fouls per game while at home this year.The Jazz will likely see an increase in possessions in this game from sharing the court with the 5th-most up-tempo pace home offense in the NBA this year (the New Orleans Pelicans).The Jazz check in as the best offensive rebounding offense in the league when playing away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games when they are away from home, opposing teams have brought down 7.4 offensive boards per game (2nd-fewest in the league) against the Pelicans (turning over possessions that could otherwise generate added opportunities for offense).Simone Fontecchio will have the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing at home tends to improve stat production across the board.
