The matchup vs. Boston is a challenging one for field goals; when the Boston Celtics are on the road, the opposition's starting SGs have posted the 4th-lowest field goal rate in the NBA this year (38.1%).The Clippers are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities in this game from squaring off against the slowest pace team in the league over the last 10 games (the Boston Celtics).The Clippers have been the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games as the home team (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).This year, opposing starting SGs have attempted 2.0 foul shots per game (6th-fewest in the league) vs. the Celtics, struggling to get to the foul line.
