Matisse Thybulle has made an impressive 1.6 3-pointers per game this season, a sizeable increase from his 0.8 rate last season.The Lakers have played at the 6th-speediest tempo in the league over the last 5 games on their home court, which should boost possessions for the Portland Trail Blazers.Offensive rebounds save possession and result in extra chances for scoring and assists, and the Trail Blazers grade out 6thbest in in the NBA with 13.5 offensive boards per game this year.This matchup is a tough one for getting to the free-throw line; opposing clubs have attempted a measly 18.6 free throws per game when the Los Angeles Lakers are the visiting team this year (least in the league).Matisse Thybulle stands to see a spike in production across the board due to holding the home court advantage in this matchup.
