The LA Clippers have played at the 7th-slowest pace in the league this year.The Suns have played at the 8th-slowest pace in the league over the last 5 games with the home court advantage, which should lead to decreased plays for the Clippers.The LA Clippers have been the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).With the home court advantage, the Suns have allowed the 3rd-most offensive rebounds per game (12.6) in the NBA to the other team over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create added opportunities for scoring and assists).Nicolas Batum will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing while traveling usually worsens player production across the board.
