The 5th-quickest tempo road team in the NBA over the last 10 games has been the Pelicans.The Pelicans will likely see a rise in plays in this game from competing against the 8th-speediest tempo home offense in the league over the last 20 games (the Oklahoma City Thunder).Offensive rebounds preserve possession and generate additional opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Pelicans grade out 3rd-best in in the league with 13.8 offensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games.The matchup against Oklahoma may be a strong one for getting to the charity stripe; the opposing team's starting SFs have attempted a whopping 4.2 free throws per game over the last 5 games when the Oklahoma City Thunder are on their home court (7th-most in the NBA).
