Kelly Olynyk has averaged 3.6 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.1 more than he's averaged overall this year.When it comes to 3-point shots, the Pelicans's lackluster 33.2% rate of converted threes as the road team ranks 3rd-lowest in the NBA this year.This year, opposing starting PFs have shot 29.1% on three-pointers (3rd-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Phoenix Suns, identifying this as a tough matchup.The Pelicans will likely experience a decrease in opportunities today from squaring off against the 4th-most sluggish tempo home offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (the Phoenix Suns).Kelly Olynyk will not enjoy the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage tends to reduce player performance for all stats.
