Taurean Prince has converted 3.4 shots from downtown per game over the last 5 games, 1.6 more than he's made overall this year.The matchup against New York is a good one for 3-point shots; when the Knicks are away from home, the other team's starting SFs have put up the 30th-highest three percentage in the NBA this year (48.0%).The Lakers have played at the 4th-fastest pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games.The Knicks have given up the 4th-least offensive rebounds per game (10.0) in the NBA to their opposition this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).Taurean Prince stands to see an increase in effectiveness in all facets of the game due to having the home court advantage in this game.
