T.J. McConnell has tallied a measly 14.0 minutes per game this season, significantly lower than his 19.9 minutes per game last season.Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and create additional opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Indiana Pacers rank 8thworst in in the NBA with just 9.3 offensive boards per game this year.Away from home, the Hawks have allowed the 10th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.5) in the league to opposing clubs this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce added chances for scoring and assists).T.J. McConnell will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing on the road generally worsens player performance in all stat categories.
