Kevin Durant Points Prop is currently Over/Under 23.5 (-112/-112).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The Houston Rockets have been the best offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create new chances for scoring and assists).
Over the last 17 games when they are the visiting team, the other team's starting SGs have attempted 3.2 foul shots per game (10th-most in the league) vs. the Los Angeles Lakers, succeeding in their efforts to get to the charity stripe.
Favors Under
The Rockets have been the 3rd-least aggressive offense in the league this year with respect to shot attempts from beyond the arc.
This year when they are the visiting team, the opposition's starting SGs have averaged 37.1% on shot attempts from the field (3rd-worst in the league) against the Lakers, creating a challenging matchup.
The Houston Rockets have played at the 2nd-most sluggish pace in the league this year.
The Rockets will likely suffer a drop-off in possessions in this game from facing the 3rd-most lethargic pace-of-play home offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Lakers).
