Dorian Finney-Smith has been called for 2.5 personal fouls per game this year, ranking him as one of the most foul-whistled players in the NBA (85th percentile).The Lakers have played at the most sluggish tempo in the NBA over the last 10 games.The Charlotte Hornets have played at the 6th-slowest pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 15 games in their home stadium, which should decrease possessions for the Lakers.The Los Angeles Lakers have been the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).Dorian Finney-Smith will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road usually worsens player performance in all stat categories.
