The matchup against the Lakers is a favorable one for 3-point attempts; the opposing team's starting PGs have averaged the 29th-most 3-point attempts per game in the league this year (6.6).The Lakers have played at the 3rd-quickest pace-of-play in the league away from their home city this year, which should lead to increased opportunities for the Nuggets.The Denver Nuggets rank as the 8th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games while on their home court (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce added opportunities for scoring and assists).Bruce Brown will have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing in your home stadium tends to boosts player performance across the board.
