Compared to last season's 37.5% rate, T.J. McConnell's three-point efficiency has fallen this season to 12.5%.The Charlotte Hornets have played at the most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 10 games, which should lead to fewer plays for the Indiana Pacers.The Hornets have given up the most offensive boards per game (13.8) in the league to opposing clubs over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional chances for scoring and assists).As a team, the Pacers have been quite unsuccesful at getting to the charity stripe of late: 9th-worst in the league over the last 5 games, totaling just 20.8 free throw attempts per game.This matchup is a strong one for getting to the charity stripe; their opposition has attempted a monstrous 24.6 free throws per game this year (6th-most in the NBA).
