The 2nd-quickest pace-of-play offense in the league over the last 10 games has been the Hawks.Offensive rebounds preserve possession and produce additional opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Hawks grade out 1stbest in in the league with 13.0 offensive boards per game this year.The Cleveland Cavaliers have given up the least offensive boards per game (8.8) in the NBA to opposing squads over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).Clint Capela is expected to see a spike in performance in all stat categories on account of holding the home court advantage in this contest.
