In contrast to last year's 19.9 clip, T.J. McConnell's playing time has diminished this year to 14.2 minutes per game.Offensive rebounds retain possession and produce further chances for scoring and assists, but the Pacers grade out 6thworst in in the NBA while on their home court with a mere 9.9 offensive boards per game this year.This year when they have the home court advantage, opposing squads have secured 13.0 offensive boards per game (2nd-highest in the NBA) vs. the Wizards (preserving possessions that can generate bonus chances for offense).T.J. McConnell will not have the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road generally lowers player production across the board.
