The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the 3rd-slowest pace in the league over the last 5 games.The Bulls have played at the slowest tempo in the NBA this year, which ought to lead to decreased possessions for the Cavaliers.The Cleveland Cavaliers check in as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league when playing away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 15 games when they are on the road, opposing squads have snagged 10.9 offensive rebounds per game (4th-highest in the NBA) against the Chicago Bulls (maintaining possessions that can produce additional opportunities for offense).Dean Wade will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing while traveling usually worsens player performance in all stat categories.
