The matchup against Phoenix is a difficult one for attempts from downtown; when the Suns are playing at home, opposing starting PGs have averaged the 14th-least three attempts per game in the league this year (4.4).The LA Clippers have played at the 7th-slowest pace in the league this year.The Suns have played at the 8th-slowest pace in the league over the last 5 games with the home court advantage, which should lead to decreased plays for the Clippers.The LA Clippers have been the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).With the home court advantage, the Suns have allowed the 3rd-most offensive rebounds per game (12.6) in the NBA to the other team over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create added opportunities for scoring and assists).
