The Portland Trail Blazers have played at the 4th-quickest pace-of-play in the league over the last 10 games while playing on the road.The Indiana Pacers have played at the 2nd-quickest pace in the league over the last 5 games, which should increase plays for the Trail Blazers.The Portland Trail Blazers have been the best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide added opportunities for scoring and assists).Anfernee Simons has converted 100.0% of his free throw attempts over the last 5 games, 12.2% higher than he's put through the net overall this year.The matchup vs. Indiana may be a positive one for getting to the charity stripe; the other team's starting PGs have attempted a monstrous 5.4 foul shots per game over the last 5 games when the Pacers are on their home court (7th-most in the NBA).
