Kevin Love has been called for 3.0 personal fouls per game this year, quite a bit more than his 1.7 fouls per game last year.The Miami Heat will likely experience a decrease in possessions in this game from being pitted against the 9th-most lethargic pace offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Cavaliers).The Miami Heat check in as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league on the road this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are the visiting team, their opposition has collected 11.5 offensive boards per game (10th-highest in the league) against the Cavaliers (saving possessions that can generate more opportunities for offense).This year, their opposition has attempted 26.1 free throws per game (5th-highest in the league) vs. the Cavaliers, easily managing to get to the foul line.
