Key Factors
Favors Over
In contrast to last season's 24.6 mark, Donovan Mitchell's points per game have spiked this season to 28.9.
The matchup against Denver is a good one; when the Nuggets are on their home court, they have allowed the 2nd-most points per game in the NBA to the opposition's starting SGs over the last 5 games (20.4).
The 5th-speediest tempo road offense in the league over the last 25 games has been the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Offensive rebounds continue possession and lead to extra chances for scoring and assists, and the Cleveland Cavaliers rank 4th-best in in the league while on the road with 13.3 offensive boards per game over the last 20 games.
The matchup vs. Denver may be a positive one for getting to the foul line; the other team's starting SGs have attempted an enormous 5.0 foul shots per game over the last 5 games when the Nuggets have the home court advantage (2nd-most in the league).
Favors Under
The Cleveland Cavaliers are expected to suffer a drop-off in possessions in this game from competing against the 2nd-slowest pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 20 games (the Nuggets).
When it comes to getting to the charity stripe, the Cavaliers's subpar 17.6 free throws per game comes in as the 6th-worst in the league over the last 5 games.
