Tyus Jones has posted 0.4 offensive rebounds per game away from home this year, ranking in the 25th percentile -- among the league trailers by this standard.The 6th-slowest tempo away team in the league this year has been the Suns.The Suns are expected to see a decline in plays today from competing against the 2nd-most sluggish pace-of-play team in the league over the last 5 games (the Portland Trail Blazers).The Suns rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).Tyus Jones will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium generally worsens player production across the board.
