In contrast to last year's 43.6% clip, Chris Paul's field goal ability has surged this year to 42.8%.This year when they are away from home, opposing teams have averaged 43.9% on shot attempts from the field (3rd-lowest in the NBA) against the Clippers, marking this as a difficult matchup.The 3rd-fastest tempo away offense in the NBA over the last 5 games has been the Golden State Warriors.The LA Clippers have played at the 10th-quickest pace in the league over the last 11 games, which should lead to increased plays for the Warriors.The Golden State Warriors have been the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
