LeBron James has been called for 0.3 technical fouls per game over the last 15 games, 0.1 higher than he's been called for overall this season.This year when they are the visiting team, the opposition's starting PFs have averaged 3.6 three attempts per game (9th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Bulls, resulting in a hard matchup.The Lakers are expected to experience a decrease in plays in this contest from squaring off against the least up-tempo tempo team in the league this year (the Bulls).The Los Angeles Lakers have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league while playing away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).While at home, the Bulls have given up the 10th-most offensive boards per game (11.4) in the league to opposing clubs over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional chances for scoring and assists).
