The New Orleans Pelicans have played at the 10th-most lethargic pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games, which ought to lead to decreased possessions for the Thunder.Offensive rebounds retain possession and produce bonus opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Oklahoma City Thunder rank 2ndworst in in the NBA with a mere 8.8 offensive rebounds per game this year.Gordon Hayward should suffer a reduction in output across the board on account of playing on the visting team in this game.
