This year when they are at home, the opposition's starting SFs have compiled 23.9 points per game (most in the league) against the Toronto Raptors, identifying this as a strong matchup for offensive performance. The 5th-quickest pace team in the NBA over the last 5 games has been the Lakers.

Among all players in the league, RJ Barrett registers in the 80th percentile for personal fouls, tallying a massive 2.3 fouls per game since the start of last season. RJ Barrett will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage generally lowers player performance in all facets of the game.
