The 10th-most up-tempo tempo visiting team in the league since the start of last season has been the Pelicans.The New Orleans Pelicans are expected to see a rise in opportunities in this contest from being pitted against the 8th-fastest tempo home team in the league since the start of last season (the Denver Nuggets).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and produce more chances for scoring and assists, and the Pelicans rank 7th-best in in the league with 12.2 offensive boards per game since the start of last season.Over the last 5 games when they are away from home, the other team's starting PGs have attempted 6.2 free throws per game (3rd-highest in the league) vs. the Denver Nuggets, making it fairly effortless to get to the free-throw line.
