In the 2022-23 Season - The Los Angeles Lakers averaged 26.6 free throws a game - The Most in the NBA.
Their opponents by contrast averaged 20.8 free throw attempts per games - The least amount in the NBA.
The difference in free throw attempts was +5.8 easily the highest in the league
By contrast the Denver Nuggets free throw differential was -.3 (22.4 vs. 22.7)
This year the Lakers opponents are only shooting 19.3 just below the Boston Celtics at 18.9
While not number one the Lakers are shooting a whopping 24.7 free throws per game for a differential of an unbelievable +5.3 - easily thar biggest in the league.
By contrast Boston shoots 22.0 FTPG for a differential of +3.0.
In a recent games against Boston the Lakers shot 26 free throws while Boston shot 7. Against the Knicks Saturday night the Lakers shot 10 more free throw.
What the NBA does to cheat is help that Lakers against teams to give them a better chance to win. However when they play the Bad teams the referees don't give them a free throw advantage because they don't need it as much and it will bring their Free Throw Attempt differential number down so it does not look obvious.
Tonight they play Charlotte - On 12/28/23 They Beat Charlotte 133-112 however Charlotte shot 28 Free Throws and the Lakers shot 14.
Thus you can be 100% sure that Charlotte will shoot more free throws than the Lakers tonight
