The Oklahoma City Thunder have played at the 4th-most lethargic pace in the league over the last 5 games.The Oklahoma City Thunder will likely see a decline in possessions today from being pitted against the 10th-slowest tempo offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Dallas Mavericks).Offensive rebounds continue possession and bring about further opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Oklahoma City Thunder rank 2ndworst in in the NBA with a mere 8.7 offensive rebounds per game this year.This year, opposing clubs have come down with 11.4 offensive boards per game (4th-most in the NBA) vs. the Dallas Mavericks (lengthening possessions that can spark additional opportunities for offense).Kenrich Williams will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium tends to worsen player production across the board.
