Jonas Valanciunas has tallied 3.2 personal fouls per game this year, placing him among the most foul-prone players in the NBA (97th percentile).The New Orleans Pelicans rank as the least aggressive offense in the league over the last 10 games while playing at home with respect to shot attempts from beyond the arc.The number of shots from downtown attempted against Nic Claxton has been remarkably low (0.9 per game) when matched up against other starting Cs this year (3rd percentile).The Brooklyn Nets have played at the 7th-most sluggish pace in the league over the last 25 games, which should reduce opportunities for the Pelicans.Away from their home court, the Nets have given up the 5th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.7) in the league to opposing clubs over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide additional chances for scoring and assists).
