The Cleveland Cavaliers are expected to suffer a drop-off in possessions today from being pitted against the slowest pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Hornets).Offensive rebounds continue possession and lead to bonus opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Cavaliers rank 4thworst in in the league with just 9.0 offensive rebounds per game this year.Dean Wade will not enjoy the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home stadium tends to decrease player production across the board.
