The 3rd-quickest tempo home offense in the league this year has been the Portland Trail Blazers.The Trail Blazers are expected to see a spike in opportunities in this contest from being pitted against the 10th-most up-tempo pace visiting team in the league over the last 6 games (the Oklahoma City Thunder).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and produce additional opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Portland Trail Blazers rank 2nd-best in in the NBA with 15.4 offensive boards per game this year.This year when they are on their home court, the opposition's starting PFs have attempted 4.9 free throws per game (7th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Thunder, easily managing to get to the free-throw line.
