This year, the opposition's starting SFs have averaged 27.4% on 3-pointers (4th-weakest in the NBA) vs. the Spurs, resulting in a hard matchup.The Spurs have played at the 7th-slowest pace in the NBA on their home court this year, which should lead to decreased opportunities for the Kings.The Sacramento Kings rank as the 6th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).DeMar DeRozan will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home stadium usually lowers player production across the board.
