This year, the opposition's starting SFs have averaged 3.9 3-point attempts per game (4th-fewest in the NBA) against the Denver Nuggets, resulting in a challenging matchup.The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the 6th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA when playing away from home this year.The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to experience a decrease in possessions today from being pitted against the 10th-least up-tempo tempo home team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Nuggets).The Los Angeles Lakers check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games while on the road (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Dalton Knecht should see a decline in output across the board due to playing on the visting team in this game.
