Favors Over

Austin Reaves has tallied 39.4 minutes per game over the last 5 games, 4.4 more than he's tallied overall this season.
The Lakers are expected to see a spike in possessions today from facing the 6th-most up-tempo tempo offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Mavericks).

Favors Under

In regard to treys, the Lakers's poor 11.0 sunk threes per game as the visting team comes in as the 3rd-fewest in the league this year.
The matchup vs. Dallas is a hard one for three-point attempts; when the Mavericks have the home court advantage, the opposition's starting PGs have totaled the 4th-least 3-point attempts per game in the NBA this year (4.6).
The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the 2nd-most sluggish pace in the league over the last 10 games while playing away from home.
The matchup vs. the Dallas Mavericks may be a hard one for getting to the charity stripe; the opposition's starting PGs have attempted a lowly 2.9 foul shots per game over the last 20 games (least in the NBA).
Austin Reaves will not enjoy the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home city tends to reduce player production in all stat categories.
