The 4th-most sluggish pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 10 games has been the Lakers.The Lakers will likely suffer a drop-off in opportunities in this game from sharing the court with the 3rd-least up-tempo pace offense in the league over the last 10 games (the Minnesota Timberwolves).Offensive rebounds retain possession and bring about further chances for scoring and assists, but the Los Angeles Lakers rank 4thworst in in the league with just 9.7 offensive rebounds per game this year.Rui Hachimura will not possess the home court advantage in this contest. Playing on the road generally worsens player performance for all stats.
