The matchup against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a tough one for shots from the field; when guarding opposing starting SGs this year, they have successfully made a mere 42.8% of their field goals (24th percentile).The Raptors have been the 9th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 20 games, the other team's starting SGs have attempted 1.9 foul shots per game (fewest in the NBA) vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder, finding it difficult to get to the charity stripe.
