The Los Angeles Lakers check in as the 3rd-lowest scoring offense in the NBA when playing on the road this year when it comes to shots from behind the three-point arc.The Bulls have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo pace in the league over the last 20 games, which should reduce possessions for the Lakers.Playing at home, the Bulls have given up the 7th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.4) in the NBA to opposing clubs over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to added chances for scoring and assists).Malik Beasley has converted 57.1% of his foul shots over the last 15 games, -14.3% lower than he's made overall this season.This matchup may be a favorable one for drawing fouls; when the Bulls are at home, the other team have attempted a massive 25.2 foul shots per game over the last 5 games (7th-most in the league).
