Sacramento @ Los Angeles picks

Kevin Huerter has attempted 5.3 shots from downtown per game since the start of last season, ranking in the 82nd percentile out of all players in the league. In regard to offense, the Kings's remarkable 116.3 points per game places 8th-most in the league since the start of last season. The Kings are expected to see a rise in plays in this game from competing against the 3rd-most up-tempo pace-of-play team in the NBA since the start of last season (the Lakers). Over the last 17 games when they are the visiting squad, the opposing team's starting SGs have attempted 3.2 free throws per game (10th-most in the NBA) against the Los Angeles Lakers, succeeding in their efforts to get to the charity stripe.

Out of all players in the NBA, Anthony Davis lands in the 13th percentile for 3-point prowess with a bad 23.4% rate since the start of last season. The matchup vs. Domantas Sabonis is a challenging one for 3-point attempts; when matched up against fellow starting Cs since the start of last season, they have attempted a measly 1.2 3-pointers per game (4th percentile). Offensive rebounds continue possession and spark extra opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Lakers rank 1stworst in in the league with a mere 8.3 offensive rebounds per game since the start of last season. The number of fouls drawn by opposing starting Cs vs. Domantas Sabonis has been very low since the start of last season (2.8 foul shots per game: 22nd percentile).
