D'Angelo Russell has been called for 0.2 technical fouls per game over the last 15 games while playing on the road, 0.1 more than he's been called for over the course of the year on the road.The Los Angeles Lakers rank as the lowest scoring offense in the NBA when playing on the road this year in terms of threes.The Rockets have played at the 7th-most lethargic pace in the league over the last 15 games in their home city, which should reduce plays for the Lakers.While playing at home, the Rockets have allowed the 3rd-most offensive rebounds per game (11.6) in the NBA to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce new opportunities for scoring and assists).D'Angelo Russell will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing while traveling tends to worsens player performance in all facets of the game.
