The Trail Blazers have played at the 2nd-most lethargic pace-of-play in the league over the last 15 games, which should reduce plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder.Offensive rebounds save possession and create further opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Thunder rank 2ndworst in in the league with just 8.7 offensive boards per game this year.Aaron Wiggins will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city usually worsens player production in all facets of the game.
