Relative to last season's 34.2% clip, Pat Connaughton's 3-point prowess has declined this season to 22.6%.The matchup vs. the Hornets is a favorable one; as the home team they have allowed the 3rd-most points per game in the league to their opposition this year (119.4).The Bucks check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league without the home court advantage this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Pat Connaughton has converted a lowly 66.7% of his foul shot attempts this year, significantly less than his 59.2 rate last year.This matchup is a good one for getting to the charity stripe; when the Charlotte Hornets have the home court advantage, the other team has attempted a monstrous 28.6 free throws per game this year (most in the NBA).
