D'Angelo Russell has attempted just 5.3 three-pointers per game this year, quite a bit less than his 6.6 mark last year.Out of all players in the league, D'Angelo Russell slots into the 91st percentile for technical fouls, posting an enormous 0.1 fouls per game when playing on the road this year.This year, opposing starting PGs have shot 39.8% on field goal attempts (15th-lowest in the NBA) against the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking this as a difficult matchup.The Lakers will likely suffer a reduction in opportunities in this contest from squaring off against the 8th-most lethargic pace offense in the league over the last 10 games (the Minnesota Timberwolves).The Lakers check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA when playing on the road this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).
