Brandon Ingram has played 33.2 minutes per game this year, putting him among the most-used players in the league: 88th percentile.The matchup against the Bucks is a good one for field goals; the opposing team's starting SGs have tallied the 26th-most buckets per game in the league this year (6.2).The Pelicans will likely see a rise in opportunities in this contest from sharing the court with the quickest pace-of-play home team in the NBA over the last 25 games (the Bucks).The Pelicans check in as the 8th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to new opportunities for scoring and assists).This year, the other team's starting SGs have attempted 3.3 free throws per game (25th-most in the NBA) against the Bucks, making it fairly effortless to get to the charity stripe.
