The Lakers are expected to experience a decrease in opportunities today from being pitted against the 4th-least up-tempo pace offense in the league this year (the Denver Nuggets).The Lakers rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).Rui Hachimura will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home stadium generally lowers player performance in all stat categories.
