Rui Hachimura has committed 2.6 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games while playing at home, 0.8 higher than he's committed in all games this season at home.This matchup is a good one for three-point attempts; the other team has averaged the most 3-point attempts per game in the NBA over the last 15 games when the Knicks are on the road (35.8).The New York Knicks have played at the 2nd-most lethargic pace in the NBA this year, which ought to lead to fewer plays for the Lakers.The Lakers rank as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer chances for scoring and assists).
