Key Factors

Favors Over

The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the 5th-speediest pace in the league over the last 15 games.
Donovan Mitchell figures to see a rise in effectiveness across the board in light of owning the home court advantage in this game.

Favors Under

The Cavaliers are expected to experience a decrease in possessions in this game from being pitted against the least up-tempo tempo offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the New Orleans Pelicans).
The Cavaliers rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).
