The Pelicans are expected to see a rise in plays today from facing the 2nd-most up-tempo tempo team in the NBA this year (the Portland Trail Blazers).Offensive rebounds continue possession and generate added opportunities for scoring and assists, and the New Orleans Pelicans rank 4th-best in in the league with the home court advantage with 12.6 offensive rebounds per game since the start of last season.Over the last 10 games, the opposition's starting PGs have attempted 6.5 free throws per game (2nd-highest in the NBA) vs. the Portland Trail Blazers, making it fairly effortless to get to the free-throw line.
