Austin Reaves has committed 3.4 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games without the home court advantage, 1.5 more than he's committed overall this season on the road.This year when they are the visiting squad, the opposing team's starting SGs have averaged 24.8% on 3-pointers (15th-worst in the league) vs. the Rockets, identifying this as a difficult matchup.Offensive rebounds continue possession and lead to more chances for scoring and assists, but the Los Angeles Lakers grade out 1stworst in in the league with just 8.5 offensive rebounds per game this year.With the home court advantage, the Rockets have given up the 6th-most offensive boards per game (11.6) in the NBA to their opposition over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Austin Reaves should experience a decrease in output across the board considering playing away from home in this matchup.
