This year when they are on the road, the other team's starting PFs have tallied 3.4 three attempts per game (11th-lowest in the NBA) against the Pelicans, designating this as a tough matchup.The Washington Wizards will likely suffer a reduction in possessions today from facing the 6th-least up-tempo pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 25 games (the New Orleans Pelicans).The Wizards check in as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are away from home, opposing squads have captured 11.3 offensive boards per game (8th-most in the league) vs. the Pelicans (saving possessions that can result in more chances for offense).
