The Lakers have played at the 5th-least up-tempo pace in the league over the last 10 games at home, which should lead to fewer plays for the Chicago Bulls.Offensive rebounds retain possession and result in more opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Chicago Bulls rank 3rdworst in in the NBA with just 9.0 offensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games.Over the last 15 games, the opposing team's starting SFs have attempted 1.9 foul shots per game (fewest in the NBA) against the Los Angeles Lakers, making it tough to get to the foul line.Kevin Huerter figures to suffer a reduction in production in all facets of the game in light of being on the road in this game.
