Over the last 15 games, opposing starting SGs have averaged 4.9 three attempts per game (10th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Trail Blazers, marking this as a hard matchup.The San Antonio Spurs will likely experience a decrease in opportunities in this game from being pitted against the 8th-least up-tempo pace home offense in the league this year (the Trail Blazers).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and lead to added chances for scoring and assists, but the Spurs grade out 4thworst in in the league as the away team with a mere 9.4 offensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games.Malaki Branham will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road tends to decrease stat production in all stat categories.
