In contrast to last year's 20.0 mark, Austin Reaves's points per game have surged this year to 28.9.With respect to scoring, the Lakers's excellent 121.8 points per game ranks 5th-highest in the NBA over the last 10 games.The matchup against Philadelphia is a favorable one; when the 76ers are on their home court, they have given up the 6th-most points per game in the NBA to the opposing team's starting SGs over the last 24 games (18.4).The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to see an increase in plays in this game from squaring off against the 6th-most up-tempo pace-of-play home team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the 76ers).Over the last 5 games, the other team's starting SGs have attempted 5.4 free throws per game (most in the NBA) vs. the Philadelphia 76ers, making it fairly effortless to get to the free-throw line.
