Jose Alvarado has made 2.6 shots from downtown per game over the last 5 games on the road, 0.8 higher than he's converted from downtown over the course of the year while playing on the road.This year, the other team's starting PGs have tallied 2.9 3-pointers per game (2nd-most in the NBA) vs. the Nets, identifying this as a favorable matchup.The Pelicans have played at the 10th-quickest tempo in the league over the last 25 games as the road team.The Pelicans will likely see an increase in opportunities today from being pitted against the 8th-speediest pace-of-play home team in the league over the last 5 games (the Brooklyn Nets).The New Orleans Pelicans have been the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to new opportunities for scoring and assists).
