Out of all players in the NBA, Andrew Nembhard measures in the 84th percentile for personal fouls, posting a massive 2.4 fouls per game this year.The matchup vs. the Lakers is a tough one for shot attempts from the field; the opposing team's starting SGs have averaged the 6th-least shot attempts per game in the league this year (11.7).The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the 6th-least up-tempo tempo in the NBA on the road this year, which should decrease plays for the Indiana Pacers.The Pacers have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 15 games with the home court advantage (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 10 games, the opposition's starting SGs have attempted 1.7 free throws per game (5th-lowest in the NBA) against the Lakers, struggling to get to the free-throw line.
