Damian Lillard has accumulated 2.6 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.9 more than he's accumulated overall this season.The matchup against Denver is a tough one for shot attempts from beyond the arc; when the Denver Nuggets are on the road, the other team's starting PGs have averaged the 15th-least 3-point attempts per game in the NBA this year (4.5).The Bucks are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities today from competing against the most lethargic tempo team in the NBA over the last 25 games (the Denver Nuggets).The Bucks have been the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).The Nuggets have allowed the 9th-most offensive boards per game (11.8) in the league to opposing squads over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide new opportunities for scoring and assists).
