This year, the opposing team's starting SGs have averaged 11.7 field goal attempts per game (6th-lowest in the league) vs. the Lakers, resulting in a challenging matchup. The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the 4th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 10 games away from their home city, which should lead to decreased possessions for the Spurs. The Spurs check in as the 10th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league while at home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists). Over the last 10 games, opposing starting SGs have attempted 1.7 free throws per game (5th-lowest in the NBA) against the Lakers, struggling to get to the foul line.
