Out of all players in the NBA, Domantas Sabonis ranks in the 96th percentile for personal fouls, averaging an enormous 3.1 fouls per game while on the road this year.The matchup against Chet Holmgren is a difficult one for threes; when matched up against other starting Cs this year, they have finished with a mere 0.4 threes per game (7th percentile).The Thunder have played at the 4th-slowest tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games with the home court advantage, which should decrease possessions for the Kings.The Sacramento Kings check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).This year, opposing squads have grabbed 12.5 offensive boards per game (2nd-most in the NBA) against the Oklahoma City Thunder (continuing possessions that can produce bonus opportunities for offense).
