In contrast to last year's 1.5 rate, Collin Sexton's off-target 3-point shots have spiked this year to 2.4 per game.The Jazz rank as the 9th-least efficient 3-point shooting team in the league while playing on the road this year.This year when they are on their home court, opposing starting SGs have averaged 27.7% on 3-pointers (13th-lowest in the NBA) against the Trail Blazers, making this a challenging matchup.The Jazz will likely suffer a reduction in possessions in this game from competing against the 2nd-least up-tempo pace-of-play home team in the NBA over the last 10 games (the Trail Blazers).This year when they are away from home, opposing squads have nabbed 11.6 offensive boards per game (7th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Portland Trail Blazers (retaining possessions that can generate further opportunities for offense).
