This matchup is a strong one for attempts from beyond the arc; opposing teams have averaged the 10th-most 3-point attempts per game in the league this year (35.3).The Warriors have played at the 5th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games on the road, which should decrease opportunities for the Lakers.The Los Angeles Lakers check in as the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games when playing at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer chances for scoring and assists).This matchup may be a positive one for drawing fouls; when the Warriors are the visiting squad, their opposition have attempted a massive 25.1 free throws per game over the last 20 games (7th-most in the NBA).
