Josh Giddey has compiled a measly 4.7 assists per game this year, a sizeable decrease from his 6.2 assists per game last year.The Thunder are expected to suffer a reduction in plays today from facing the 2nd-most lethargic tempo road offense in the league this year (the Chicago Bulls).The Oklahoma City Thunder check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league without the home court advantage this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 15 games when they are on the road, their opposition has captured 11.0 offensive boards per game (2nd-highest in the league) against the Bulls (saving possessions that can lead to added opportunities for offense).
