Brook Lopez has committed 2.5 personal fouls per game this year, making him one of the most foul-prone players in the league (82nd percentile).The Milwaukee Bucks have been the 4th-lowest scoring offense in the league while on the road this year.The Trail Blazers have played at the 3rd-most sluggish pace in the league over the last 5 games, which should reduce possessions for the Bucks.When playing at home, the Trail Blazers have allowed the 3rd-least offensive rebounds per game (12.8) in the NBA to the other team over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).The matchup against Portland may be a tough one for getting to the free throw line; the opposing team's starting PGs have attempted a lowly 3.2 foul shots per game over the last 20 games when the Trail Blazers have the home court advantage (7th-least in the NBA).
