Relative to last year's 40.0% clip, Kawhi Leonard's 3-point effectiveness has declined this year to 28.0%.The matchup against the Hornets is a difficult one for shot attempts from downtown; the opposing team's starting SFs have totaled the least 3-point attempts per game in the NBA over the last 20 games (3.6).The Clippers have played at the 9th-slowest tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games while on the road.The Clippers will likely see a decline in plays in this contest from squaring off against the 4th-least up-tempo tempo home offense in the NBA over the last 20 games (the Hornets).The Clippers have been the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).
