Out of all players in the league, Austin Reaves lands in the 80th percentile for personal fouls, averaging a whopping 2.6 fouls per game this year.The matchup against Orlando is a difficult one for shot attempts from beyond the arc; when the Orlando Magic are on the road, opposing starting PGs have tallied the 3rd-least 3-point attempts per game in the league this year (4.9).The Lakers have played at the 8th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games.The Lakers check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are at home, opposing starting PGs have attempted 2.2 free throws per game (3rd-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Magic, finding it difficult to draw fouls.
