Out of all players in the NBA, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander comes in at the 84th percentile for personal fouls, averaging an enormous 2.5 fouls per game at home this year.Over the last 25 games, the opposition's starting SGs have notched 15.6 points per game (15th-lowest in the league) against the Nuggets, making this a difficult matchup for offensive production.The 7th-most lethargic tempo offense in the league over the last 5 games has been the Oklahoma City Thunder.The Oklahoma City Thunder are expected to see a decline in opportunities in this contest from facing the slowest tempo visiting offense in the league over the last 10 games (the Denver Nuggets).The Oklahoma City Thunder rank as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).
