Devin Vassell has committed 2.6 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.0 more than he's committed in all games this year.The Lakers have played at the 3rd-most sluggish pace-of-play in the league over the last 20 games, which should lead to fewer possessions for the Spurs.As a team, the Spurs have been poor at getting to the free-throw line when playing on the road: 4th-worst in the league this year, drawing a lowly 20.2 free throws per game.Over the last 15 games, the other team's starting SFs have attempted 1.9 free throws per game (fewest in the league) vs. the Los Angeles Lakers, finding it difficult to get to the free-throw line.Devin Vassell is expected to experience a decrease in effectiveness in all stat categories due to being on the road in this game.
