Key Factors
Favors Over
The Lakers are expected to see a rise in plays in this contest from squaring off against the 3rd-speediest pace offense in the NBA this year (the Memphis Grizzlies).
As a team, the Lakers have been very successful at getting to the free-throw line in recent days: 2nd-best in the league over the last 5 games, totaling 30.8 free throws per game.
The matchup vs. the Grizzlies may be a good one for getting to the charity stripe; the other team's starting SGs have attempted a whopping 3.2 free throws per game over the last 10 games (7th-most in the league).
Favors Under
The matchup vs. Memphis is a difficult one; when the Memphis Grizzlies are on their home court, they have allowed the least points per game in the league to opposing starting SGs this year (9.9).
The Los Angeles Lakers rank as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
