The Los Angeles Lakers have been the lowest scoring offense in the NBA this year when it comes to three-pointers.The matchup against the Thunder is a difficult one for 3-point attempts; the other team's starting PFs have tallied the 5th-least three attempts per game in the NBA over the last 20 games (3.0).The Thunder have played at the 9th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games on the road, which should reduce plays for the Lakers.The Thunder have allowed the least offensive rebounds per game (12.3) in the NBA to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).
