Even though the Bobcats have had recent offensive struggles, they are still playing well on the road, where they are averaging over 70 points per game. With more than 11 offensive rebounds per game, they are a very good offensive rebounding club, which will increase their opportunities to score.
They've also done a fantastic job guarding the ball, so the Jaspers won't get many chances to score easily.
