Nikola Jokic has attempted a mere 15.0 shots from the field per game this year, significantly less than his 17.9 rate last year.The matchup vs. Dwight Powell is a hard one for field goal attempts; when guarding fellow starting Cs this year, they have attempted a measly 7.5 field goals per game (4th percentile).The Mavericks have played at the most sluggish pace in the league on the road this year, which should reduce plays for the Nuggets.The Denver Nuggets have been the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
