D'Angelo Russell has committed 0.3 technical fouls per game this year, quite a bit more than his 0.1 technicals per game last year.Since the start of last season, opposing starting PGs have totaled 5.5 three attempts per game (6th-lowest in the NBA) against the Houston Rockets, creating a hard matchup.The Houston Rockets have played at the 3rd-most sluggish tempo in the league at home this year, which should reduce plays for the Lakers.The Lakers check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA at home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).
