Jarrett Allen has committed 2.2 personal fouls per game this year, putting him among the most-whistled players in the NBA (75th percentile).The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA this year.The Knicks have played at the 4th-most sluggish pace in the NBA with the home court advantage this year, which should lead to decreased opportunities for the Cavaliers.The Cleveland Cavaliers have been the 6th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).Jarrett Allen will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city tends to reduces player production across the board.
