This year, opposing starting SGs have totaled 10.6 shot attempts per game (15th-fewest in the league) vs. the Chicago Bulls, creating a tough matchup.The San Antonio Spurs are expected to suffer a drop-off in possessions today from competing against the least up-tempo tempo offense in the league this year (the Chicago Bulls).The Spurs have been the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).While on their home court, the Chicago Bulls have allowed the 7th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.1) in the NBA to opposing squads over the last 14 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to added chances for scoring and assists).Among all players in the NBA, Malaki Branham comes in at the 19th percentile for getting to the foul line, logging only 0.6 free throws per game this year.
