Offensive rebounds retain possession and lead to more opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Mavericks grade out 9thworst in in the NBA with just 9.0 offensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games.Over the last 10 games, their opposition has snagged 11.9 offensive boards per game (4th-most in the NBA) against the Jazz (retaining possessions that can generate bonus chances for offense).This matchup is a strong one for getting to the charity stripe; when the Jazz are at home, opposing teams have attempted a massive 26.5 free throws per game this year (3rd-most in the league).Tim Hardaway Jr. should see a decline in efficiency across the board considering playing on the visting team in this matchup.
