Los Angeles @ Phoenix picks

Anthony Davis has sunk 23.8% of his three-point attempts since the start of last season, ranking him in the 13th percentile out of all players in the NBA. The number of 3-pointers attempted against Jusuf Nurkic has been quite low (1.4 per game) when on his home court and facing opposing starting Cs since the start of last season (8th percentile). Offensive rebounds retain possession and lead to further chances for scoring and assists, but the Los Angeles Lakers rank 1stworst in in the league with a mere 8.3 offensive boards per game since the start of last season. The matchup with Jusuf Nurkic as it relates to getting to the foul line rates in the 15th percentile for difficulty with opposing starting Cs attempting a mere 2.5 free throws per game since the start of last season when they are on the road. Anthony Davis stands to suffer a drop-off in productivity in all stat categories on account of being on the road in this contest.
