Rui Hachimura has been called for 0.2 technical fouls per game over the last 5 games away from home, 0.1 more than he's been called for overall this year on the road.Offensive rebounds continue possession and lead to more chances for scoring and assists, but the Los Angeles Lakers grade out 1stworst in in the league with just 8.5 offensive rebounds per game this year.With the home court advantage, the Rockets have given up the 6th-most offensive boards per game (11.6) in the NBA to their opposition over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create additional opportunities for scoring and assists).This matchup may be a strong one for getting to the foul line; opposing clubs have attempted a massive 27.2 free throws per game over the last 25 games (most in the league).Rui Hachimura should see a decline in productivity in all stat categories due to being on the road in this contest.
