The 5th-least up-tempo tempo road offense in the league this year has been the Clippers.The Clippers will likely suffer a drop-off in possessions today from being pitted against the 2nd-most lethargic pace-of-play home team in the NBA over the last 25 games (the Orlando Magic).Offensive rebounds preserve possession and bring about further chances for scoring and assists, but the LA Clippers grade out 4thworst in in the NBA as the away team with just 7.4 offensive boards per game over the last 5 games.Norman Powell will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing while traveling tends to reduce player production in all stat categories.
