Russell Westbrook has posted a lowly 3.6 defensive boards per game this season, significantly less than his 4.7 defensive boards per game last season.The Clippers have played at the slowest pace in the league over the last 10 games.The Kings have played at the 7th-least up-tempo tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should decrease possessions for the LA Clippers.The Clippers rank as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).Russell Westbrook will not enjoy the home court advantage in this game. Playing while traveling tends to worsen player performance in all facets of the game.
