This year, the other team's starting PGs have averaged 26.5% on three-pointers (weakest in the NBA) against the Utah Jazz, designating this as a challenging matchup.The Jazz have played at the 5th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should reduce plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder.The Thunder have been the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA while playing at home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are at home, the other team's starting PGs have attempted 2.4 foul shots per game (4th-lowest in the NBA) against the Utah Jazz, finding it difficult to get to the foul line.
