The matchup vs. Los Angeles is a hard one for field goals; when the Clippers have the home court advantage, the opposing team's starting PGs have put up the 8th-lowest Field Goal% in the NBA this year (42.1%).The 2nd-least up-tempo pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 20 games has been the Denver Nuggets.The Nuggets are expected to experience a decrease in plays in this contest from sharing the court with the 2nd-slowest pace home team in the league this year (the Clippers).The Denver Nuggets rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are the visiting team, the opposition's starting PGs have attempted 2.9 free throws per game (8th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Clippers, finding it difficult to get to the free-throw line.
