Relative to last season's 14.8 rate, Josh Giddey's shots from the field have fallen this season to 10.6 per game.The matchup vs. Los Angeles is a tough one for shots from the field; when the LA Clippers are on their home court, the opposition's starting PGs have shot for the 8th-lowest field goal rate in the NBA this year (42.1%).The Thunder will likely experience a decrease in plays in this game from competing against the 2nd-most sluggish tempo offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (the LA Clippers).The Oklahoma City Thunder rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are the visiting squad, the opposition's starting PGs have attempted 2.9 foul shots per game (8th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Clippers, making it tough to get to the foul line.
