Austin Reaves has been called for 2.8 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games away from his home court, 1.0 higher than he's been called for overall this year on the road.The Los Angeles Lakers will likely experience a decrease in opportunities in this game from squaring off against the 3rd-least up-tempo tempo home team in the league over the last 5 games (the Celtics).The Lakers have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 25 games, their opposition has secured 11.9 offensive rebounds per game (2nd-highest in the league) against the Celtics (preserving possessions that can bring about bonus opportunities for offense).Austin Reaves will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage generally decreases player production in all stat categories.
