Devin Carter has put up 13.4 points per game over the last 5 games, 5.3 higher than he's put up overall this season.. This year, opposing starting PGs have totaled 7.1 three attempts per game (3rd-highest in the NBA) vs. the New Orleans Pelicans, creating a good matchup.. The 10th-fastest pace home team in the league over the last 15 games has been the Kings.. The Kings rank as the 5th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce added chances for scoring and assists)..
