Compared to last year's 0.1 clip, Max Strus's technical fouls have jumped this year to 0.3 per game.The Portland Trail Blazers have played at the 5th-most lethargic tempo in the NBA this year, which ought to lead to fewer possessions for the Cleveland Cavaliers.The Cavaliers have been the 10th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA when playing on the road this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Max Strus will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing while traveling tends to lower player performance across the board.
