The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to suffer a drop-off in plays in this contest from competing against the least up-tempo pace team in the league over the last 10 games (the New Orleans Pelicans).Offensive rebounds preserve possession and result in extra opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Los Angeles Lakers grade out 2ndworst in in the league when playing away from home with only 8.0 offensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games.Max Christie will not hold the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home court generally worsens player performance across the board.
