Los Angeles @ Memphis picks

Dennis Schroder has been on the court for 29.2 minutes per game when playing on the road this year, ranking in the 77th percentile -- putting him among the most-utilized players in the league. The matchup against the Grizzlies is a challenging one for shots from the field; their opposition have put up the lowest Field Goal% in the league this year (45.6%). The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the 3rd-most up-tempo pace-of-play in the league this year. The Grizzlies have played at the 4th-speediest pace in the league over the last 10 games, which should lead to more opportunities for the Lakers. The Los Angeles Lakers rank as the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 15 games away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to added chances for scoring and assists).

Anthony Davis has committed 2.2 personal fouls per game without the home court advantage this year, putting him in the 76th percentile -- among the NBA's highest-fouling. The Los Angeles Lakers check in as the 3rd-least aggressive offense in the league this year as it relates to attempts from beyond the arc. The matchup against the Grizzlies is a tough one; they have allowed the 15th-least points per game in the league to the other team's starting PFs this year (13.3). Playing at home, the Grizzlies have allowed the 4th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.4) in the NBA to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide added opportunities for scoring and assists). The matchup against the Grizzlies is a hard one for getting to the free throw line; the opposition's starting PFs have attempted a measly 2.8 foul shots per game this year (14th-least in the NBA).
