Golden State @ Portland picks

Matisse Thybulle has sunk an impressive 43.6% of his attempts from beyond the arc this season, quite a bit higher than his 29.7 rate last season. Matisse Thybulle has tallied 28.0 minutes per game over the last 5 games, 8.0 more than he's tallied overall this season. Among all players in the NBA, Matisse Thybulle ranks in the 16th percentile for personal fouls, tallying a mere 0.9 fouls per game this year. The speediest tempo offense in the NBA over the last 5 games has been the Trail Blazers. Offensive rebounds preserve possession and produce more chances for scoring and assists, and the Portland Trail Blazers rank best in in the NBA with 15.4 offensive rebounds per game over the last 20 games.

When it comes to scoring, the Trail Blazers's unimpressive 111.2 points per game places 9th-lowest in the NBA this year. The Trail Blazers are expected to see a decline in plays today from competing against the 7th-most sluggish tempo offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Warriors).

Stephen Curry has registered 32.4 points per game over the last 10 games without the home court advantage, 6.1 more than he's registered in all games this year on the road. Out of all players in the league, Stephen Curry slots into the 87th percentile for playing time, posting a monstrous 32.1 minutes per game this year. The Golden State Warriors will likely see an increase in possessions today from competing against the most up-tempo pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Portland Trail Blazers). The Golden State Warriors have been the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games when playing away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to added opportunities for scoring and assists). Stephen Curry has sunk 6.4 foul shots per game over the last 5 games on the road, 1.9 more than he's sunk in all games this year when playing on the road.
