Tre Jones has attempted a lowly 7.1 shots from the field per game this season, significantly less than his 10.9 mark last season.Relative to last year's 28.7 rate, Tre Jones's playing time has been reduced this year to 23.8 minutes per game.The San Antonio Spurs will likely suffer a drop-off in opportunities in this game from being pitted against the 3rd-most lethargic pace-of-play visiting offense in the league this year (the Houston Rockets).The San Antonio Spurs rank as the 9th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA playing at home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).This matchup is a positive one for getting to the charity stripe; when the Houston Rockets are playing at home, their opposition has attempted an enormous 26.0 free throws per game this year (3rd-most in the league).
