The matchup against the Heat is a favorable one; they have allowed the 4th-most points per game in the NBA to opposing starting PGs over the last 10 games (23.1).The 2nd-speediest pace-of-play road team in the league this year has been the Portland Trail Blazers.The Portland Trail Blazers will likely see a spike in possessions today from competing against the fastest pace offense in the league this year (the Miami Heat).The Trail Blazers have been the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the league on the road since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games, the other team's starting PGs have attempted 5.8 foul shots per game (3rd-most in the NBA) against the Heat, easily managing to draw fouls.
