Kris Dunn has accumulated 2.6 personal fouls per game while playing on the road this year, ranking in the 85th percentile -- among the NBA's highest-fouling.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).As a team, the Utah Jazz have been poor at drawing fouls while playing away from home: 7th-worst in the league this year, tallying just 21.6 free throws per game.Kris Dunn will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home court tends to worsens player performance across the board.
