This year, the opposition's starting SGs have notched 12.1 points per game (lowest in the NBA) against the Cleveland Cavaliers, marking this as a hard matchup for offensive effectiveness.The Pacers rank as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Andrew Nembhard has attempted and missed 1.0 free throw attempts per game over the last 5 games, 0.6 higher than he's missed in all games this year.The matchup against Cleveland is a hard one for getting to the free-throw line; opposing starting SGs have attempted just 1.4 foul shots per game this year when the Cavaliers have the home court advantage (3rd-least in the NBA).Andrew Nembhard ought to suffer a drop-off in performance across the board due to playing away from home in this game.
