This year, the other team's starting SFs have averaged 5.8 3-point attempts per game (highest in the league) vs. the Lakers, making this a positive matchup.The 6th-quickest tempo team in the league over the last 5 games has been the Dallas Mavericks.The Mavericks have been the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games while at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to added chances for scoring and assists).Out of all players in the league, Naji Marshall comes in at the 90th percentile for foul-shot ability with a very good 89.5% rate this year.The matchup vs. Los Angeles may be a good one for drawing fouls; the opposition's starting PGs have attempted a monstrous 6.2 foul shots per game over the last 5 games when the Lakers are the visiting squad (4th-most in the league).
