In contrast to last year's 51.2% mark, Austin Reaves's field goal efficiency has decreased this year to 44.9%.The Los Angeles Lakers will likely suffer a drop-off in opportunities in this game from squaring off against the 10th-most lethargic pace home team in the league this year (the Utah Jazz).The Los Angeles Lakers check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games, opposing teams have collected 11.4 offensive rebounds per game (9th-highest in the NBA) against the Utah Jazz (maintaining possessions that can produce bonus chances for offense).This year when they are on the road, opposing clubs have attempted 24.3 foul shots per game (7th-most in the NBA) against the Utah Jazz, finding it easy to draw fouls.
