Favors Under

The matchup vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves is a hard one; they have given up the least points per game in the NBA to the other team's starting PFs this year (14.5).
The 4th-most sluggish pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 10 games has been the Lakers.
The Lakers will likely suffer a drop-off in opportunities in this game from sharing the court with the 3rd-least up-tempo pace offense in the league over the last 10 games (the Minnesota Timberwolves).
Offensive rebounds retain possession and bring about further chances for scoring and assists, but the Los Angeles Lakers rank 4thworst in in the league with just 9.7 offensive rebounds per game this year.
The matchup against Minnesota is a tough one for getting to the free-throw line; opposing starting PFs have attempted a lowly 3.1 foul shots per game this year when the Timberwolves are at home (9th-least in the NBA).
