Key Factors

Favors Over

Lauri Markkanen has logged a terrific 30.6 points per game this year, a sizeable increase from his 19.0 points per game last year.
The matchup against the Lakers is a strong one for three-point attempts; the other team's starting PFs have totaled the most 3-point attempts per game in the NBA this year (5.6).
The Utah Jazz have played at the 3rd-speediest tempo in the league over the last 5 games.
The Utah Jazz have been the 5th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce added opportunities for scoring and assists).

Favors Under

In terms of shooting, the Jazz's feeble 101.3 points per game without the home court advantage comes in as the lowest in the league this year.
The Utah Jazz will likely experience a decrease in opportunities in this game from facing the 8th-slowest pace offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Lakers).
The matchup vs. the Lakers may be a tough one for drawing fouls; the opposing team's starting PFs have attempted a lowly 2.2 foul shots per game over the last 15 games (least in the league).
