This year, the opposition's starting PFs have averaged 29.6% on 3-pointers (4th-weakest in the NBA) vs. the Portland Trail Blazers, designating this as a difficult matchup.Offensive rebounds save possession and result in extra chances for scoring and assists, but the Clippers rank 2ndworst in in the league with only 8.9 offensive boards per game over the last 15 games.Derrick Jones Jr. has failed to convert 0.6 free throw attempts per game over the last 5 games, 0.4 more than he's missed in all games this season.Derrick Jones Jr. will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage tends to lower stat production for all stats.
