Toronto @ Portland picks

The Raptors check in as the 2nd-lowest scoring offense in the NBA this year when it comes to shots from downtown. The matchup against Portland is a tough one for shot attempts from the field; when the Portland Trail Blazers are at home, the other team's starting SFs have averaged the least FG attempts per game in the league this year (8.4). Ochai Agbaji has made 63.7% of his free throw attempts this year, ranking in the 16th percentile out of all players in the league. Ochai Agbaji will not have the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing while traveling generally worsens player performance across the board.

Among all players in the league, Jakob Poeltl places in the 99th percentile for personal fouls, totaling a colossal 3.2 fouls per game this year. Jakob Poeltl will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home court tends to reduce player production for all stats.

Donovan Clingan has successfully made 53.4% of his field goals this year, placing him in the 86th percentile among all players in the league. Donovan Clingan has played 26.0 minutes per game over the last 5 games, 8.1 more than he's played over the course of the season. The number of points registered against Jakob Poeltl has been remarkably high (15.1 per game) when squaring off against opposing starting Cs this year (87th percentile). The 5th-most up-tempo tempo home team in the league over the last 5 games has been the Portland Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers will likely see a rise in plays in this game from competing against the 7th-most up-tempo pace-of-play road offense in the league over the last 20 games (the Raptors).
