The matchup vs. Luguentz Dort is a hard one for scoring; when guarding fellow starting SFs this year, they have successfully made a lowly 43.0% of their shot attempts from the field (7th percentile).The Thunder have given up the most offensive rebounds per game (12.1) in the league to their opposition this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).As a team, the Phoenix Suns have been bad at getting to the foul line: 3rd-worst in the NBA this year, tallying just 21.6 free throw attempts per game.This matchup may be a favorable one for drawing fouls; when the Thunder have the home court advantage, opposing squads have attempted a colossal 27.4 foul shots per game over the last 20 games (3rd-most in the NBA).Josh Okogie will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing while traveling usually lowers stat production in all stat categories.
