This year, the opposition's starting PFs have averaged 29.6% on three-pointers (4th-worst in the league) vs. the Trail Blazers, labeling this as a difficult matchup.The LA Clippers have played at the slowest tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games.The Trail Blazers have played at the 3rd-most lethargic pace-of-play in the league in their home stadium this year, which should lead to decreased plays for the LA Clippers.The LA Clippers check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games while on the road (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).Kawhi Leonard is expected to see a decline in productivity across the board as a result of being on the road in this contest.
