The matchup vs. Phoenix is a hard one; when the Suns are the visiting squad, they have given up the least points per game in the NBA to the opposition's starting PGs this year (12.2).The 8th-least up-tempo pace-of-play offense in the NBA this year has been the Thunder.The Thunder will likely suffer a reduction in possessions in this game from sharing the court with the 6th-slowest tempo visiting offense in the league this year (the Suns).The Oklahoma City Thunder rank as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games while at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).The matchup against Phoenix is a tough one for drawing fouls; opposing starting PGs have attempted a measly 2.1 free throws per game this year when the Suns are on the road (2nd-least in the NBA).
