The matchup against Golden State is a favorable one; when the Golden State Warriors are away from home, they have given up the most points per game in the NBA to the other team's starting PGs this year (24.4).The Pelicans will likely see a rise in possessions today from competing against the 3rd-most up-tempo tempo offense in the NBA over the last 14 games (the Warriors).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and produce added opportunities for scoring and assists, and the New Orleans Pelicans grade out 7th-best in in the NBA with 13.4 offensive rebounds per game this year.This year when they have the home court advantage, the opposing team's starting PGs have attempted 7.1 free throws per game (highest in the league) against the Golden State Warriors, easily managing to get to the free-throw line.
