The Heat are expected to suffer a drop-off in plays in this contest from competing against the 4th-slowest pace-of-play offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Philadelphia 76ers).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and create added opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Miami Heat rank 6thworst in in the league with a mere 9.9 offensive rebounds per game this year.This matchup may be a positive one for getting to the free-throw line; when the Philadelphia 76ers are playing at home, opposing squads have attempted a massive 25.5 free throws per game over the last 8 games (21st-most in the NBA).
