The Trail Blazers have been the lowest scoring offense in the NBA this year.This year when they are on their home court, the other team's starting PFs have averaged 11.4 points per game (15th-fewest in the NBA) against the Nets, marking this as a challenging matchup for offensive output.The Brooklyn Nets have played at the 4th-most lethargic pace in the league over the last 25 games, which should lead to decreased plays for the Trail Blazers.Without the home court advantage, the Brooklyn Nets have given up the 4th-most offensive boards per game (12.1) in the NBA to their opposition over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce added opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they have the home court advantage, opposing starting PFs have attempted 1.9 free throws per game (15th-fewest in the league) against the Brooklyn Nets, struggling to get to the foul line.
