Josh Okogie has successfully made 25.6% of his shots from downtown this year, putting him in the 22nd percentile among all players in the NBA.The matchup against the Nuggets is a challenging one for shot attempts from the field; the other team's starting SFs have averaged the 15th-least shot attempts per game in the league this year (10.7).The Nuggets have played at the 4th-least up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 25 games, which should reduce possessions for the Suns.The Nuggets have given up the 8th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.2) in the NBA to the other team over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to new opportunities for scoring and assists).As a team, the Phoenix Suns have been poor at getting to the foul line on the road: 5th-worst in the league this year, drawing just 21.2 foul shot attempts per game.
