Out of all players in the NBA, Luguentz Dort registers in the 96th percentile for personal fouls, averaging an enormous 3.1 fouls per game this year.Over the last 5 games, opposing starting SFs have tallied 4.2 3-point attempts per game (7th-fewest in the league) against the Heat, designating this as a tough matchup.The rate of 3-point shots drained against Haywood Highsmith has been quite low (28.6%) when squaring off against fellow starting SFs this year (17th percentile).The Thunder will likely see a decline in possessions in this game from sharing the court with the 2nd-slowest pace-of-play team in the league over the last 25 games (the Heat).The Oklahoma City Thunder have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).
