In contrast to last year's 33.7% clip, Marcus Smart's three-point performance has dropped this year to 25.1%.This year when they are the visiting team, the other team's starting PGs have averaged 4.6 three attempts per game (12th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Dallas Mavericks, making this a tough matchup.The Memphis Grizzlies check in as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).This year, opposing clubs have brought down 11.7 offensive boards per game (3rd-most in the league) against the Mavericks (preserving possessions that can create more opportunities for offense).Over the last 20 games, the opposing team's starting PGs have attempted 2.9 free throws per game (15th-fewest in the league) against the Dallas Mavericks, making it tough to get to the foul line.
