This year, the opposition's starting SGs have shot 51.5% on field goal attempts (highest in the NBA) against the Portland Trail Blazers, marking this as a positive matchup. The 76ers will likely see a rise in opportunities in this contest from sharing the court with the 7th-most up-tempo pace home team in the NBA this year (the Portland Trail Blazers). Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and spark additional opportunities for scoring and assists, and the 76ers rank 8th-best in the NBA as the road team with 12.6 offensive boards per game this year. The matchup vs. the Trail Blazers may be a good one for getting to the foul line; the opposition's starting SGs have attempted a massive 3.2 free throws per game over the last 5 games (8th-most in the NBA).
