Zion Williamson has compiled a whopping 3.4 offensive boards per game this season, a significant increase from his 1.8 offensive boards per game last season.The Pelicans have played at the 4th-quickest tempo in the league over the last 5 games.The New Orleans Pelicans will likely see a spike in opportunities in this contest from squaring off against the 5th-most up-tempo pace away team in the NBA over the last 20 games (the Dallas Mavericks).The New Orleans Pelicans have been the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games playing at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce new chances for scoring and assists).Zion Williamson should get a boost in productivity across the board considering having the home court advantage in this matchup.
