In comparison to last year's 4.2 clip, James Harden's unsuccessful threes have increased this year to 5.3 per game.This year when they are on the road, the opposition's starting PGs have averaged 27.9% on three-pointers (4th-lowest in the NBA) against the Hornets, marking this as a challenging matchup.The Clippers have played at the 9th-slowest tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games while on the road.The Clippers will likely see a decline in plays in this contest from squaring off against the 4th-least up-tempo tempo home offense in the NBA over the last 20 games (the Hornets).The Clippers have been the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).
