Key Factors
Favors Over
Max Christie has played a terrific 15.8 minutes per game this season, a significant increase from his 10.4 minutes per game last season.
The Los Angeles Lakers rank as the 6th-highest scoring offense in the league over the last 17 games.
This year when they are on their home court, the opposition's starting SGs have averaged 50.0% on field goals (28th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Philadelphia 76ers, making this a good matchup.
The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the 9th-fastest pace-of-play in the NBA as the home team this year.
The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to see an increase in opportunities in this game from squaring off against the 6th-speediest pace-of-play road team in the NBA over the last 6 games (the 76ers).
Favors Under
Out of all players in the league, Max Christie lands in the 16th percentile, tallying a measly 4.3 points per game this year.
Max Christie has successfully made just 12.5% of his attempts from beyond the arc this year, significantly less than his 36.9 rate last year.
The Los Angeles Lakers check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league at home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
Over the last 5 games, their opposition has come down with 12.0 offensive boards per game (9th-highest in the league) against the 76ers (retaining possessions that can spark more opportunities for offense).
Max Christie will not enjoy the home court advantage in this contest. Playing without the home court advantage tends to reduce stat production in all facets of the game.
