Key Factors

Favors Over

Max Strus has attempted 6.7 shots from downtown per game while on the road this year, placing him in the 93rd percentile out of all players in the league.
Max Strus has averaged 32.4 minutes per game while playing away from home this year, ranking him in the 86th percentile -- putting him among the most-utilized players in the league.
The Cleveland Cavaliers check in as the 7th-most aggressive offense in the league over the last 25 games as it relates to three-point attempts.
The Bulls have given up the least offensive rebounds per game (8.0) in the league to opposing clubs over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).
This year when they are away from home, the other team's starting SFs have attempted 5.1 free throws per game (30th-most in the league) against the Chicago Bulls, making it fairly effortless to get to the free-throw line.

Favors Under

Max Strus has tallied 2.5 personal fouls per game while playing on the road this year, ranking him in the 85th percentile -- among the league's most foul-prone.
This year, the other team's starting SFs have averaged 23.9% on threes (15th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Chicago Bulls, marking this as a tough matchup.
The 4th-most sluggish pace offense in the league over the last 5 games has been the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers will likely suffer a drop-off in plays in this game from being pitted against the 2nd-least up-tempo tempo team in the NBA this year (the Bulls).
The Cavaliers check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer chances for scoring and assists).
