Norman Powell has logged just 13.6 points per game this season, a significant dropoff from his 17.4 points per game last season.The matchup vs. Los Angeles is a tough one; when the Lakers are on the road, they have allowed the 14th-least points per game in the league to opposing starting SFs over the last 12 games (14.0).The 7th-slowest tempo home team in the league over the last 10 games has been the LA Clippers.The Clippers rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games with the home court advantage (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 20 games, their opposition has come down with 12.4 offensive boards per game (highest in the league) against the Lakers (saving possessions that can generate more opportunities for offense).
