In contrast to last year's 25.8 mark, Nicolas Batum's playing time has dropped this year to 17.4 minutes per game.The 3rd-most lethargic pace-of-play road team in the NBA over the last 5 games has been the LA Clippers.The LA Clippers rank as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer chances for scoring and assists).Nicolas Batum will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home court usually worsens player performance across the board.
