Out of all players in the league, Ziaire Williams registers in the 80th percentile for technical fouls, totaling a whopping 0.1 fouls per game this year.The Grizzlies are expected to suffer a reduction in possessions in this contest from sharing the court with the 2nd-most lethargic pace-of-play team in the league this year (the Denver Nuggets).Offensive rebounds retain possession and spark bonus chances for scoring and assists, but the Grizzlies rank 4thworst in in the NBA with only 9.7 offensive boards per game over the last 15 games.The Nuggets have given up the 2nd-most offensive boards per game (12.3) in the NBA to opposing squads over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce new chances for scoring and assists).Ziaire Williams will not possess the home court advantage in this contest. Playing without the home court advantage tends to lower player production in all stat categories.
