Zion Williamson has tallied just 3.6 defensive rebounds per game this year, a significant dropoff from his 5.0 defensive rebounds per game last year.Among all players in the NBA, Zion Williamson slots into the 80th percentile for personal fouls, compiling a massive 2.6 fouls per game away from his home court this year.The New Orleans Pelicans are expected to suffer a drop-off in plays in this game from facing the 5th-most lethargic pace road team in the NBA this year (the Philadelphia 76ers).The Pelicans check in as the 9th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).
