The LA Clippers have played at the 7th-most lethargic pace in the league this year.The Suns have played at the 4th-slowest pace in the NBA over the last 5 games in their home stadium, which should reduce plays for the Clippers.The LA Clippers rank as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).While playing at home, the Suns have given up the 8th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.0) in the league to opposing squads over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide new chances for scoring and assists).Eric Gordon will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing while traveling usually lowers player production across the board.
