Key Factors

Favors Over

The Los Angeles Lakers have been the 2nd-highest scoring offense in the league over the last 25 games with the home court advantage.
The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the most up-tempo tempo in the NBA over the last 25 games while on their home court.
The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to get a boost in opportunities in this contest from competing against the 3rd-speediest tempo offense in the league this year (the Spurs).
The Spurs have allowed the 8th-least offensive boards per game (10.2) in the NBA to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).

Offensive rebounds continue possession and result in additional opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Lakers rank 1stworst in in the league with just 8.2 offensive boards per game this year.
Since the start of last season when they are the visiting squad, the other team's starting SGs have attempted 2.5 free throws per game (9th-fewest in the league) vs. the San Antonio Spurs, finding it difficult to get to the foul line.
Max Christie stands to see a decline in production in all stat categories due to playing on the visting team in this contest.
