Donovan Mitchell has accumulated 2.4 personal fouls per game away from home this year, ranking in the 78th percentile -- among the NBA's most-whistled.The matchup vs. Herbert Jones is a hard one for threes; when Jones is playing at home and guarding opposing starting SGs this year, they have sunk a mere 24.9% of their three-pointers (4th percentile).The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the slowest pace-of-play in the NBA this year.The Pelicans have played at the 7th-slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 15 games with the home court advantage, which should lead to decreased possessions for the Cavaliers.The Cleveland Cavaliers check in as the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games while playing on the road (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
