This year when they are on the road, the opposing team's starting SFs have averaged 26.1% on threes (2nd-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Houston Rockets, identifying this as a difficult matchup.The Dallas Mavericks check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games on the road (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Klay Thompson will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing while traveling usually decreases player production in all facets of the game.
