Among all players in the NBA, Herbert Jones lands in the 94th percentile for personal fouls, averaging a massive 2.9 fouls per game while on the road this year.The matchup against Portland is a tough one for three-point attempts; the opposition's starting SFs have tallied the 2nd-least three attempts per game in the league over the last 15 games when the Trail Blazers are at home (3.9).The Pelicans have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games.The Pelicans will likely suffer a drop-off in opportunities in this game from competing against the 6th-least up-tempo pace-of-play home offense in the league over the last 25 games (the Trail Blazers).The Pelicans have been the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further chances for scoring and assists).
