Since the start of last season when they are away from home, opposing teams have tallied 38.8 3-point attempts per game (highest in the NBA) vs. the Rockets, designating this as a favorable matchup.The Lakers are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities in this contest from squaring off against the least up-tempo pace home offense in the NBA this year (the Rockets).The Lakers have been the 9th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league on their home court since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).
