The Bulls have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo pace in the league over the last 20 games, which should reduce possessions for the Lakers.Playing at home, the Bulls have given up the 7th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.4) in the NBA to opposing clubs over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to added chances for scoring and assists).Troy Brown Jr. will not enjoy the home court advantage in this contest. Playing without the home court advantage usually lowers player production in all facets of the game.
