The matchup against Jaren Jackson Jr. is a challenging one for 3-point attempts; when Jackson Jr. is playing on the road and guarding fellow starting Cs this year, they have attempted just 1.2 treys per game (20th percentile).The Grizzlies have played at the 6th-slowest pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 20 games, which should reduce plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder.The Oklahoma City Thunder check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).
