Key Factors

Favors Over

Donovan Mitchell has converted 10.4 buckets per game over the last 5 games on the road, 1.5 higher than he's sunk overall this season away from home.
Out of all players in the NBA, Donovan Mitchell places in the 99th percentile for threes made, logging 3.6 per game this year.
The matchup against Orlando is a strong one for threes; when the Orlando Magic are at home, the other team's starting PGs have posted the 6th-highest 3-point rate in the NBA this year (42.3%).
The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the 4th-quickest pace in the NBA over the last 10 games.
Offensive rebounds retain possession and create further opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Cleveland Cavaliers grade out best in in the league with 15.4 offensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games.

Favors Under

Donovan Mitchell has played a measly 31.2 minutes per game this year, a sizeable decrease from his 35.8 minutes per game last year.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are expected to experience a decrease in opportunities today from squaring off against the 2nd-slowest tempo team in the league this year (the Magic).
As a team, the Cavaliers have been poor at getting to the foul line of late: 6th-worst in the NBA over the last 10 games with just 19.8 foul shot attempts per game.
This year, opposing starting PGs have attempted 3.3 foul shots per game (5th-fewest in the league) against the Orlando Magic, struggling to get to the charity stripe.
Donovan Mitchell stands to suffer a drop-off in productivity across the board due to playing away from home in this contest.
