Atlanta @ Indiana picks

Aaron Nesmith has made 43.3% of his three-point attempts while at home this year, ranking in the 88th percentile out of all players in the league. In regard to offense, the Indiana Pacers's exceptional 117.2 points per game while playing at home measures as the 6th-strongest in the NBA this year. The matchup vs. the Hawks is a good one for shots from the field; the opposing team's starting SFs have compiled the highest field goal rate in the league this year (55.3%). The 6th-fastest pace offense in the league over the last 5 games has been the Indiana Pacers. The Indiana Pacers will likely see an increase in possessions today from being pitted against the speediest pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Atlanta Hawks).

Mouhamed Gueye has compiled 1.6 offensive boards per game over the last 5 games on the road, 1.3 higher than he's compiled in all games this season on the road. The Hawks have played at the fastest pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 15 games. The Indiana Pacers have played at the 6th-quickest pace in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should boost opportunities for the Hawks. Offensive rebounds save possession and bring about extra chances for scoring and assists, and the Atlanta Hawks rank 2nd-best in the NBA while playing on the road with 13.4 offensive boards per game this year.
