Key Factors

Favors Over

Mikal Bridges has attempted 19.6 shots per game over the last 5 games, 3.0 higher than he's attempted overall this season.
Mikal Bridges has attempted 8.2 threes per game over the last 5 games, 2.3 higher than he's attempted overall this year.
Mikal Bridges has tallied 40.4 minutes per game over the last 5 games, 5.6 higher than he's tallied over the course of the year.
The matchup vs. the Trail Blazers is a strong one for scoring; opposing starting SGs have shot for the 30th-highest field goal rate in the league this year (51.5%).
The Brooklyn Nets will likely see a rise in plays in this contest from facing the 10th-quickest pace-of-play team in the league over the last 10 games (the Portland Trail Blazers).

Favors Under

The Nets rank as the 2nd-lowest scoring offense in the league over the last 10 games away from home.
The Nets have played at the 4th-slowest pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 25 games.
Over the last 25 games, opposing clubs have snagged 11.1 offensive boards per game (9th-highest in the league) against the Trail Blazers (preserving possessions that can produce bonus opportunities for offense).
Mikal Bridges will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing while traveling tends to worsen player performance in all stat categories.
