The matchup vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder is a good one for three-pointers; the other team's starting SGs have put up the 2nd-highest 3-point percentage in the NBA this year (44.1%).The Pelicans have played at the 2nd-quickest tempo in the NBA over the last 10 games.The Pelicans will likely get a boost in opportunities in this contest from squaring off against the 6th-most up-tempo pace-of-play home offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Thunder).The New Orleans Pelicans have been the 7th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce new opportunities for scoring and assists).
