This year when they are at home, the other team's starting SGs have notched 19.8 points per game (28th-highest in the NBA) against the Sacramento Kings, identifying this as a strong matchup for offensive productivity.The Clippers will likely see an increase in plays today from sharing the court with the 4th-quickest pace-of-play home offense in the league this year (the Kings).Offensive rebounds maintain possession and spark added chances for scoring and assists, and the Clippers rank 7thbest in in the NBA when playing at home with 13.0 offensive boards per game over the last 5 games.The Kings have given up the 3rd-least offensive boards per game (9.1) in the NBA to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).The matchup against Sacramento is a favorable one for getting to the charity stripe; the opposition's starting SGs have attempted an enormous 5.8 foul shots per game this year when the Kings are on their home court (30th-most in the NBA).
