Devin Booker has averaged 4.2 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.2 higher than he's averaged overall this season.While at home, the Lakers have given up the 3rd-most offensive rebounds per game (12.0) in the league to their opposition over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create additional opportunities for scoring and assists).As a team, the Phoenix Suns have been bad at getting to the free throw line while playing away from home: worst in the NBA this year, totaling a mere 20.3 free throws per game.The matchup against the Lakers is a challenging one for drawing fouls; the opposition's starting SGs have attempted a measly 2.6 free throws per game this year (11th-least in the league).Devin Booker will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing without the home court advantage tends to worsens stat production in all facets of the game.
