Key Factors

Favors Over

Austin Reaves has successfully made 4.8 three-point shots per game over the last 5 games, 2.1 higher than he's made from beyond the arc over the course of the season.
Among all players in the league, Austin Reaves measures in the 95th percentile for playing time, posting an enormous 34.9 minutes per game this year.
In terms of scoring, the Lakers's terrific 120.6 points per game as the away team measures as the 5th-most in the league over the last 5 games.
This year, opposing starting SGs have averaged 44.1% on 3-pointers (2nd-best in the NBA) vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder, designating this as a positive matchup.
The Los Angeles Lakers will likely get a boost in opportunities in this game from sharing the court with the 2nd-most up-tempo tempo team in the league over the last 5 games (the Oklahoma City Thunder).

Favors Under

Austin Reaves has accumulated 2.8 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games away from his home court, 1.0 more than he's accumulated in all games this year on the road.
The 7th-most sluggish pace-of-play offense in the league over the last 10 games has been the Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers have been the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 20 games when playing away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).
The matchup vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder may be a tough one for getting to the free-throw line; the opposition's starting SGs have attempted a measly 1.9 foul shots per game over the last 20 games (least in the NBA).
Austin Reaves will not enjoy the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium tends to lower player performance across the board.
