Peyton Watson has tallied 23.4 minutes per game over the last 5 games, 5.2 more than he's tallied over the course of the year.The Nuggets are expected to see a rise in opportunities in this game from squaring off against the quickest tempo offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Los Angeles Lakers).The Nuggets have been the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 20 games when playing away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional chances for scoring and assists).Playing at home, the Lakers have given up the 9th-least offensive boards per game (10.0) in the NBA to opposing clubs this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).
