This year when they are playing at home, opposing starting SFs have posted 12.4 points per game (15th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Grizzlies, identifying this as a hard matchup for offensive performance.The Pelicans have been the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 25 games as the road team (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are away from home, the other team has snagged 11.5 offensive rebounds per game (4th-highest in the league) vs. the Memphis Grizzlies (continuing possessions that can bring about bonus chances for offense).This year, opposing starting SFs have attempted 2.8 foul shots per game (8th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Grizzlies, facing an uphill battle to get to the foul line.Brandon Ingram will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium tends to decreases stat production across the board.
