Max Strus has been called for 4.2 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.6 more than he's been called for over the course of the season.The 5th-most sluggish pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 15 games has been the Cavaliers.The Cavaliers are expected to experience a decrease in opportunities in this game from competing against the slowest pace home offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Boston Celtics).The Cleveland Cavaliers rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games as the road team (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 10 games when they are away from home, the opposing team's starting SFs have attempted 2.6 foul shots per game (4th-lowest in the league) against the Celtics, facing an uphill battle to get to the foul line.
