The matchup against the Miami Heat is a tough one for 3-point attempts; the opposition's starting SFs have averaged the 9th-least three attempts per game in the NBA over the last 5 games (4.2).The Charlotte Hornets have played at the 7th-slowest pace in the NBA over the last 25 games.The Miami Heat have played at the slowest pace-of-play in the league on their home court this year, which should lead to decreased plays for the Charlotte Hornets.The Hornets have been the 6th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).The matchup with Andrew Wiggins when it comes to getting to the free-throw line ranks in the 17th percentile for difficulty with the opposition's starting SFs attempting a mere 2.3 free throws per game this year.
