Out of all players in the NBA, Dorian Finney-Smith ranks in the 82nd percentile for personal fouls, totaling an enormous 2.4 fouls per game this year.The matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers is a hard one for three-pointers; the opposing team's starting PFs have posted the 4th-lowest 3-point percentage in the NBA this year (29.6%).The Lakers are expected to experience a decrease in possessions in this game from squaring off against the 3rd-least up-tempo tempo home team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Portland Trail Blazers).The Lakers check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).Dorian Finney-Smith should suffer a reduction in effectiveness in all facets of the game on account of playing away from home in this matchup.
