The Dallas Mavericks have played at the 9th-speediest pace in the league over the last 5 games while playing at home.The Kings have played at the 7th-speediest pace in the league over the last 10 games away from their home city, which should lead to more opportunities for the Mavericks.Away from home, the Kings have given up the 4th-least offensive rebounds per game (9.1) in the NBA to opposing squads over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Tim Hardaway Jr. will receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing on your home court tends to boosts player performance across the board.
