Kelly Olynyk has averaged 3.5 personal fouls per game this year, quite a bit more than his 2.5 fouls per game last year.The Lakers have played at the 8th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 7 games at home, which should lead to decreased plays for the Jazz.Playing at home, the Lakers have allowed the most offensive rebounds per game (12.1) in the league to opposing teams over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce new opportunities for scoring and assists).Kelly Olynyk will not possess the home court advantage in this contest. Playing without the home court advantage generally worsens player production in all facets of the game.
