The Indiana Pacers are expected to experience a decrease in opportunities in this contest from sharing the court with the 2nd-least up-tempo tempo team in the NBA this year (the Nuggets).The Indiana Pacers have been the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 20 games, their opposition has collected 11.1 offensive boards per game (8th-most in the NBA) against the Nuggets (continuing possessions that can result in added opportunities for offense).T.J. McConnell will not possess the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium generally lowers stat production in all stat categories.
