Buddy Hield has attempted a measly 7.2 treys per game this year, quite a bit lower than his 8.5 rate last year.This year, opposing starting SGs have averaged 1.5 threes per game (15th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Phoenix Suns, labeling this as a tough matchup.Offensive rebounds retain possession and result in added opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Pacers rank 5thworst in in the NBA as the home team with a mere 9.5 offensive rebounds per game this year.While playing on the road, the Phoenix Suns have given up the 3rd-most offensive rebounds per game (12.0) in the NBA to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce new opportunities for scoring and assists).
