The matchup against Sacramento is a tough one; when the Kings are the visiting team, they have given up the 3rd-least points per game in the NBA to opposing starting PGs this year (15.2).The Sacramento Kings have played at the 3rd-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 20 games, which should lead to decreased plays for the Indiana Pacers.The Pacers check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 20 games while at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are on their home court, opposing starting PGs have attempted 3.3 foul shots per game (8th-lowest in the league) vs. the Kings, making it tough to get to the free-throw line.
