The matchup against Dallas is a difficult one for threes; when the Mavericks are at home, the opposition's starting SFs have averaged the least three-point shots per game in the league this year (0.8).The 9th-least up-tempo tempo offense in the league this year has been the LA Clippers.The LA Clippers rank as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 15 games, the other team's starting SFs have attempted 1.9 free throws per game (2nd-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Mavericks, making it tough to get to the charity stripe.Norman Powell will not hold the home court advantage in this contest. Playing on the road tends to reduce player performance across the board.
