Among all players in the NBA, Zion Williamson rates in the 75th percentile for personal fouls, tallying a massive 2.2 fouls per game when playing on the road this year.The Pelicans have been the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 25 games as the road team (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are away from home, the other team has snagged 11.5 offensive rebounds per game (4th-highest in the league) vs. the Memphis Grizzlies (continuing possessions that can bring about bonus chances for offense).Zion Williamson will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home city usually lowers player production for all stats.
