Compared to last season's 41.2% rate, Brandon Ingram's three-point proficiency has diminished this season to 20.5%.This year when they are at home, the other team's starting SFs have totaled 3.0 3-point attempts per game (13th-fewest in the NBA) against the Nuggets, resulting in a challenging matchup.The Denver Nuggets have played at the 4th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA without the home court advantage this year, which should lead to fewer opportunities for the Pelicans.Offensive rebounds save possession and create added opportunities for scoring and assists, but the New Orleans Pelicans rank 10thworst in in the league as the road team with only 9.8 offensive rebounds per game this year.
