In contrast to last year's 4.2 mark, Damian Lillard's threes scored have decreased this year to 3.0 per game.The matchup vs. Denver is a challenging one for three-point shots; when the Nuggets are at home, the opposing team's starting PGs have compiled the 14th-lowest three percentage in the league this year (20.5%).The Bucks will likely see a decline in plays in this game from competing against the most lethargic pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Nuggets).The Milwaukee Bucks check in as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league as the away team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 10 games when they are on the road, opposing teams have come down with 10.5 offensive boards per game (10th-highest in the NBA) against the Denver Nuggets (lengthening possessions that can result in more opportunities for offense).
