In comparison to last season's 14.8 mark, Josh Giddey's shots from the field have dropped this season to 12.3 per game.Since the start of last season when they are the visiting squad, the opposition's starting PGs have scored 16.6 points per game (11th-fewest in the NBA) against the Philadelphia 76ers, identifying this as a challenging matchup for offensive production.The Oklahoma City Thunder are expected to suffer a drop-off in plays in this game from squaring off against the 5th-least up-tempo tempo home team in the league this year (the Philadelphia 76ers).Offensive rebounds save possession and generate additional chances for scoring and assists, but the Oklahoma City Thunder grade out 1stworst in in the league with just 7.5 offensive rebounds per game this year.When playing away from home, the Philadelphia 76ers have allowed the 8th-most offensive boards per game (11.8) in the league to opposing squads over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce new chances for scoring and assists).
