As it relates to three-point attempts, the 9th-least aggressive team in the NBA this year has been the 76ers.This year when they are the visiting team, the opposing team's starting PFs have shot 30.1% on threes (8th-lowest in the league) against the New Orleans Pelicans, resulting in a tough matchup.The Philadelphia 76ers have played at the 5th-slowest pace-of-play in the league as the visting team this year.On the road, the Pelicans have allowed the 5th-most offensive rebounds per game (12.8) in the league to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to added chances for scoring and assists).Nicolas Batum will not enjoy the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage tends to worsen player performance for all stats.
