The 3rd-least up-tempo pace offense in the NBA over the last 10 games has been the Clippers.The Clippers will likely suffer a reduction in opportunities in this game from sharing the court with the slowest pace home offense in the NBA this year (the Miami Heat).Offensive rebounds maintain possession and produce added chances for scoring and assists, but the LA Clippers rank 1stworst in in the NBA with just 7.2 offensive boards per game over the last 5 games.Nicolas Batum will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing while traveling generally worsens player performance across the board.
