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).Reggie Jackson has converted 100.0% of his free throw attempts over the last 5 games on the road, 20.8% more than he's converted in all games this season while playing on the road.Over the last 5 games, their opposition has attempted 15.8 free throws per game (lowest in the league) against the Lakers, finding it difficult to get to the charity stripe.
