Compared to last season's 34.0% mark, T.J. McConnell's 3-point effectiveness has tailed off this season to 20.0%.This matchup is a good one for field goals; opposing squads have put up the 27th-highest field goal rate in the NBA over the last 20 games (45.6%).The Indiana Pacers will likely suffer a reduction in possessions in this contest from squaring off against the 2nd-slowest pace team in the league over the last 5 games (the Detroit Pistons).The Indiana Pacers have been the 6th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).T.J. McConnell has made a mere 68.3% of his free throw attempts this season, a sizeable decrease from his 82.9 rate last season.
