With respect to shots from behind the three-point arc, the 3rd-least aggressive team in the NBA as the away team over the last 20 games has been the Pelicans.Over the last 15 games, the opposing team's starting SGs have averaged 4.7 three attempts per game (4th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Sacramento Kings, making this a hard matchup.The New Orleans Pelicans have played at the 4th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the league over the last 10 games.The Pelicans will likely see a decline in plays in this contest from facing the 2nd-most sluggish tempo home offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Kings).Trey Murphy III should suffer a drop-off in efficiency for all stats due to playing on the visting team in this matchup.
