Doug McDermott has been called for 2.8 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games without the home court advantage, 1.2 more than he's been called for over the course of the season on the road.The San Antonio Spurs have been the 5th-lowest scoring offense in the NBA this year in terms of three-pointers.This matchup is a strong one for attempts from downtown; when the Pelicans are at home, their opposition have averaged the 7th-most three attempts per game in the league against them this year (35.8).The Pelicans have played at the 3rd-most lethargic pace in the league over the last 10 games, which should reduce opportunities for the Spurs.Doug McDermott will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home city generally decreases player performance in all facets of the game.
