James Harden has logged a mere 16.8 points per game this season, significantly lower than his 20.9 points per game last season.This year when they are the visiting team, opposing starting PGs have averaged 30.6% on 3-pointers (9th-weakest in the league) vs. the Sacramento Kings, branding this as a challenging matchup.The Clippers have played at the slowest pace in the league over the last 10 games.The Kings have played at the 7th-least up-tempo tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should decrease possessions for the LA Clippers.The Clippers rank as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).
