The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the 5th-quickest tempo in the NBA over the last 15 games at home.The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to see a rise in plays in this contest from facing the 8th-most up-tempo pace offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Raptors).Offensive rebounds maintain possession and result in bonus chances for scoring and assists, and the Los Angeles Lakers rank 6thbest in in the league as the home team with 10.7 offensive rebounds per game over the last 9 games.The Toronto Raptors have allowed the 6th-least offensive rebounds per game (10.2) in the league to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further chances for scoring and assists).Taurean Prince should see a spike in performance across the board on account of having the home court advantage in this contest.
