Caris LeVert has been called for 2.2 personal fouls per game when playing on the road this year, ranking in the 75th percentile -- among the league's most-whistled.The matchup vs. New York is a tough one for three-pointers; when the Knicks are playing at home, the other team's starting SFs have shot for the 14th-lowest three rate in the league this year (29.6%).The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the most sluggish pace in the league this year.The Knicks have played at the 4th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the league with the home court advantage this year, which should lead to fewer plays for the Cavaliers.The Cleveland Cavaliers have been the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games while on the road (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).
