Jarred Vanderbilt has committed 2.5 personal fouls per game this year, placing him among the most-whistled players in the NBA (83rd percentile).The Los Angeles Lakers rank as the lowest scoring offense in the NBA when playing on the road this year in terms of threes.The Rockets have played at the 7th-most lethargic pace in the league over the last 15 games in their home city, which should reduce plays for the Lakers.While playing at home, the Rockets have allowed the 3rd-most offensive rebounds per game (11.6) in the NBA to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce new opportunities for scoring and assists).Jarred Vanderbilt will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home stadium generally decreases stat production in all facets of the game.
