Darius Garland has tallied 0.4 offensive boards per game playing at home since the start of last season, putting him in the 21st percentile -- one of the worst in the NBA by this standard.The 6th-least up-tempo tempo offense in the NBA this year has been the Cavaliers.The Cleveland Cavaliers check in as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA when playing on the road since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Since the start of last season when they are the visiting squad, their opposition has collected 12.1 offensive boards per game (highest in the NBA) against the Pacers (lengthening possessions that can bring about extra opportunities for offense).Darius Garland will not enjoy the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home court usually worsens player production across the board.
