Kevin Porter Jr. has tallied 2.6 personal fouls per game this year, putting him among the highest-fouling players in the league (87th percentile).The matchup against New Orleans is a hard one for 3-pointers; when the Pelicans are the visiting team, the opposition's starting PGs have tallied the 14th-least 3-point shots per game in the NBA this year (1.8).The Pelicans have played at the 6th-most lethargic pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games, which should lead to decreased plays for the Rockets.The Houston Rockets check in as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA while on their home court this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
