Tyrese Haliburton has put up a mere 8.6 assists per game this year, a significant dropoff from his 10.4 assists per game last year.The Pacers are expected to suffer a drop-off in opportunities in this contest from facing the 2nd-slowest tempo team in the league over the last 5 games (the Trail Blazers).The Pacers rank as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).Tyrese Haliburton stands to suffer a reduction in efficiency across the board considering playing away from home in this matchup.
