The matchup against the Charlotte Hornets is a difficult one for shot attempts from beyond the arc; the opposition's starting SFs have tallied the least 3-point attempts per game in the league over the last 20 games (3.6).The Hornets have played at the slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 10 games in their home city, which should reduce possessions for the Thunder.The Thunder rank as the 10th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games when playing away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Aaron Wiggins will not enjoy the home court advantage in this contest. Playing without the home court advantage generally worsens player production across the board.
