The {OPP_TEAM} will likely see a rise in possessions in this game from being pitted against the 2nd-quickest tempo team in the league this year (the Kings).Offensive rebounds save possession and lead to extra chances for scoring and assists, and the Trail Blazers rank 5thbest in in the league with 13.0 offensive boards per game over the last 5 games.The Kings have allowed the 6th-least offensive rebounds per game (9.8) in the NBA to opposing clubs since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).
