Donovan Mitchell has committed 2.3 personal fouls per game when playing away from home this year, ranking in the 75th percentile -- among the NBA's highest-fouling.The matchup vs. De'Anthony Melton is a difficult one for shot attempts from the field; when Melton is playing at home and squaring off against fellow starting SGs this year, they have attempted a lowly 12.1 field goals per game (13th percentile).The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA this year.The 76ers have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games, which ought to lead to fewer possessions for the Cavaliers.The Cleveland Cavaliers rank as the 6th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).
