Relative to last year's 5.1 rate, Khris Middleton's 3-point attempts have declined this year to 3.8 per game.This year when they are the visiting squad, the opposition's starting SFs have averaged 27.1% on three-pointers (13th-worst in the league) vs. the Bulls, resulting in a difficult matchup.The Milwaukee Bucks are expected to suffer a reduction in plays in this contest from facing the least up-tempo pace home team in the league this year (the Chicago Bulls).Offensive rebounds continue possession and lead to extra chances for scoring and assists, but the Milwaukee Bucks grade out 5thworst in in the league on the road with just 9.4 offensive rebounds per game this year.Without the home court advantage, the Bulls have allowed the 10th-most offensive boards per game (11.5) in the NBA to opposing clubs over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce added opportunities for scoring and assists).
