Among all players in the NBA, Simone Fontecchio comes in at the 78th percentile for technical fouls, posting a colossal 0.1 fouls per game this year.With respect to 3-pointers, the Jazz's unimpressive 12.4 made threes per game places 10th-fewest in the league over the last 5 games.This year when they are playing at home, the other team's starting SFs have averaged 1.1 three-pointers per game (15th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Denver Nuggets, labeling this as a difficult matchup.The Jazz are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities in this contest from being pitted against the least up-tempo pace-of-play visiting offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Nuggets).The Denver Nuggets have given up the 6th-most offensive boards per game (11.6) in the league to opposing clubs over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce new chances for scoring and assists).
