Mason Plumlee has totaled 3.0 assists per game this year, placing him among the best players in the league by this standard: 75th percentile.The Trail Blazers have played at the 4th-speediest pace in the NBA over the last 10 games, which should boost opportunities for the Clippers.The Clippers rank as the 8th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games while at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create new chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are playing at home, opposing teams have brought down 10.1 offensive boards per game (9th-lowest in the league) vs. the Portland Trail Blazers (diminishing possessions that could otherwise bring about further opportunities for offense).Mason Plumlee will likely see an increase in production for all stats as a result of enjoying the home court advantage in this matchup.
