The matchup against the Miami Heat is a favorable one for shots from the field; the other team's starting SFs have averaged the 7th-most FG attempts per game in the league this year (12.2).The 2nd-speediest pace-of-play road team in the league this year has been the Portland Trail Blazers.The Portland Trail Blazers will likely see a spike in possessions today from competing against the fastest pace offense in the league this year (the Miami Heat).The Trail Blazers have been the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the league on the road since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games, opposing starting SFs have attempted 6.0 foul shots per game (3rd-highest in the NBA) against the Heat, succeeding in their efforts to get to the charity stripe.
