- Derrick White has been on the court for 37.8 minutes per game over the last 5 games, 5.1 more than he’s been on the court for over the course of the year.
- The matchup against the Pelicans is a favorable one for three-point attempts; the opposition’s starting SGs have tallied the 4th-most 3-point attempts per game in the league this year (6.1).
- The Celtics have been the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games while playing on the road (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide new opportunities for scoring and assists).
Cons
