Key Factors
Favors Over
Max Strus has made 3.6 treys per game over the last 5 games on the road, 1.3 more than he's made from beyond the arc in all games this season away from home.
This year, the opposing team's starting SFs have totaled 5.8 3-point attempts per game (2nd-highest in the league) vs. the Boston Celtics, designating this as a strong matchup.
The 6th-quickest tempo offense in the NBA this year has been the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers check in as the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce new chances for scoring and assists).
Max Strus has converted 100.0% of his free throw attempts over the last 5 games, 14.3% higher than he's made overall this year.
Favors Under
The Cavaliers are expected to suffer a reduction in possessions in this contest from sharing the court with the 2nd-most lethargic pace team in the league over the last 25 games (the Boston Celtics).
As a team, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been lousy at drawing fouls of late: 6th-worst in the league over the last 10 games while playing away from home, tallying a mere 20.1 foul shot attempts per game.
The matchup vs. Boston may be a difficult one for getting to the charity stripe; the opposing team's starting SFs have attempted a measly 2.6 foul shots per game over the last 10 games when the Boston Celtics are on their home court (4th-least in the league).
Max Strus will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home stadium generally lowers stat production for all stats.
