Jose Alvarado has attempted 5.2 shots from downtown per game over the last 5 games when playing away from home, 1.4 more than he's attempted in all games this year on the road.The matchup vs. Josh Giddey is a good one for attempts from beyond the arc; when facing opposing starting PGs this year, they have attempted a colossal 5.8 three-pointers per game (96th percentile).The New Orleans Pelicans have played at the 6th-most up-tempo pace-of-play in the league over the last 20 games while on the road.The Thunder have played at the 4th-speediest pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 10 games on their home court, which should lead to increased opportunities for the Pelicans.The New Orleans Pelicans check in as the 5th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to added opportunities for scoring and assists).
