The Trail Blazers have played at the 10th-speediest pace in the NBA over the last 5 games.The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to see an increase in opportunities in this game from squaring off against the 8th-quickest pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 20 games (the Sacramento Kings).The Trail Blazers rank as the best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA while at home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to new chances for scoring and assists).This year, opposing clubs have snagged 9.4 offensive rebounds per game (2nd-fewest in the league) against the Kings (losing possessions that could otherwise result in more opportunities for offense).Toumani Camara stands to get a boost in production across the board on account of controlling the home court advantage in this contest.
