Key Factors
Favors Over
The 3rd-quickest tempo team in the NBA over the last 10 games has been the Mavericks.
The Miami Heat have allowed the 3rd-least offensive rebounds per game (9.5) in the NBA to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
Derrick Jones Jr. will enjoy the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing at home usually improves player production in all stat categories.
Favors Under

The Mavericks rank as the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
