As it relates to shooting, the Golden State Warriors's lackluster 45.5% field goal rate at home places 6th-lowest in the NBA this year.This year when they are playing at home, the opposition's starting Cs have posted 11.1 points per game (15th-fewest in the league) against the Clippers, designating this as a difficult matchup for offensive performance.The LA Clippers have played at the 7th-slowest tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games on their home court, which should lead to decreased plays for the Warriors.This year, opposing squads have grabbed 12.0 offensive rebounds per game (3rd-highest in the league) vs. the Clippers (retaining possessions that can result in more chances for offense).Dario Saric will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home city generally decreases player performance across the board.
