Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been called for 3.4 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.9 more than he's been called for overall this season.Over the last 15 games, the other team's starting SGs have tallied 4.6 three attempts per game (14th-lowest in the league) against the Wizards, resulting in a difficult matchup.The Oklahoma City Thunder rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are on the road, opposing clubs have grabbed 13.4 offensive boards per game (highest in the NBA) against the Washington Wizards (retaining possessions that can produce added opportunities for offense).Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road tends to decrease player production in all facets of the game.
