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).Jaxson Hayes will not have the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing on the road usually lowers player production for all stats.
