This year, opposing starting PFs have shot 29.6% on three-pointers (27th-weakest in the NBA) against the Portland Trail Blazers, creating a difficult matchup.The Toronto Raptors will likely suffer a reduction in possessions today from squaring off against the 3rd-least up-tempo pace offense in the league over the last 15 games (the Trail Blazers).As a team, the Raptors have been lousy at drawing fouls in recent games: 2nd-worst in the league over the last 5 games when playing away from home, averaging a measly 15.8 free throw attempts per game.Gradey Dick stands to experience a decrease in efficiency across the board on account of playing on the visting team in this game.
