The Nets will likely see a decline in opportunities in this contest from competing against the 7th-most lethargic tempo away offense in the league this year (the Los Angeles Lakers).
Over the last 15 games, opposing starting SFs have attempted 1.9 foul shots per game (fewest in the league) vs. the Los Angeles Lakers, struggling to draw fouls.
