The matchup against the Golden State Warriors is a tough one for three-point shots; the opposing team's starting SGs have compiled the 3rd-lowest 3-point percentage in the NBA this year (27.9%).The Lakers will likely experience a decrease in possessions in this contest from squaring off against the 7th-slowest pace home team in the league over the last 5 games (the Warriors).The Lakers have been the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).Max Christie will likely suffer a drop-off in effectiveness in all facets of the game in light of playing on the visting team in this game.
