In comparison to last season's 36.0% rate, Damian Lillard's 3-point efficiency has tailed off this season to 26.4%.This year, the opposing team's starting PGs have totaled 11.3 field goal attempts per game (lowest in the NBA) vs. the Charlotte Hornets, resulting in a hard matchup.The Milwaukee Bucks are expected to suffer a drop-off in opportunities in this game from being pitted against the 9th-most lethargic pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (the Charlotte Hornets).The Milwaukee Bucks check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).The matchup against the Hornets is a tough one for getting to the charity stripe; opposing starting PGs have attempted a lowly 2.9 foul shots per game this year (3rd-least in the league).
