Giannis Antetokounmpo has sunk a measly 12.3% of his shots from downtown this year, quite a bit less than his 28.5 mark last year.The matchup against New Orleans is a hard one for shot attempts from beyond the arc; when the New Orleans Pelicans have the home court advantage, the opposition's starting PFs have tallied the 5th-least three attempts per game in the NBA this year (3.4).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and lead to added opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Bucks rank 1stworst in in the NBA with just 8.5 offensive rebounds per game this year.Giannis Antetokounmpo will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium tends to decrease player performance for all stats.
