Los Angeles has already allowed the 7th most rebounds (15.8\/game) and points in the paint (15.4\/game) to opposing centers where Williams does the majority of his damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In recent games against Jaxson Hayes, we have seen Walker Kessler record 24 & 25 PR and Thomas Bryant record 21 PR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite a horrendous 1-10 shooting performance from downtown in his last game against the Utah Jazz, Austin Reaves has recorded 3+ three-pointers in 5 of his last 7 games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the two games with Luka Doncic in the mix, the Los Angeles Lakers have seen an uptick in three-point frequency, jumping from 36% to just shy of 45%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest difference has been their above-the-break threes moving from 27.4% to just shy of 36% in frequency.\u00a0In those two games, Reaves has also seen an uptick in above-the-break threes, but he’s only shot 4-15 from beyond the arc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now he’s facing a Charlotte Hornets team that has allowed the highest frequency of ATB threes in the NBA and\u00a0Reaves already makes 36% of his seven home attempts from long distance on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lebron James has also been dealing with a foot injury and there is a strong chance that he sits out this game considering it’s the first leg of a back-to-back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you enjoy written analysis, breaking down stats or creating your own power ratings, The Basketball GoldSheet has something for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Basketball GoldSheet newsletter features stat breakdowns for every NBA and college basketball game each day, plus in-depth written analysis on our Key Releases by 12pm ET \/ 9am PT each morning.
