The matchup vs. the Jazz is a tough one for 3-pointers; the other team's starting PGs have posted the 15th-lowest 3-point rate in the NBA this year (26.5%).The Wizards have been the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games with the home court advantage (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games when they have the home court advantage, opposing teams have nabbed 14.0 offensive rebounds per game (most in the league) vs. the Jazz (lengthening possessions that can spark extra opportunities for offense).In comparison to last year's 78.9% clip, Tyus Jones's foul-shot proficiency has tailed off this year to 71.1%.This year when they are on their home court, the opposition's starting PGs have attempted 2.4 foul shots per game (12th-fewest in the league) against the Jazz, finding it difficult to draw fouls.
