The matchup against the Mavericks is a favorable one for field goal attempts; opposing starting PFs have totaled the most shot attempts per game in the league this year (16.0).The Portland Trail Blazers have played at the 5th-speediest pace in the NBA over the last 15 games while at home.The Mavericks have played at the 2nd-quickest pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games away from their home city, which should lead to more opportunities for the Trail Blazers.The Trail Blazers check in as the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to added chances for scoring and assists).The matchup against Dallas may be a positive one for getting to the foul line; opposing starting PFs have attempted an enormous 6.0 free throws per game over the last 5 games when the Dallas Mavericks are on the road (6th-most in the league).
