Shaedon Sharpe has committed 2.9 personal fouls per game this year, quite a bit more than his 1.7 fouls per game last year.This year, the opposing team's starting SGs have tallied 4.5 three attempts per game (15th-lowest in the league) against the Phoenix Suns, making this a tough matchup.The Trail Blazers have played at the 8th-most sluggish pace in the NBA when playing away from home this year.The Trail Blazers will likely see a decline in possessions today from competing against the 5th-least up-tempo tempo offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Suns).The Portland Trail Blazers have been the 10th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
