The matchup vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers is a difficult one; they have allowed the least points per game in the NBA to opposing starting SGs this year (12.1).The New York Knicks have played at the 5th-least up-tempo tempo in the NBA over the last 15 games.The Knicks will likely see a decline in opportunities in this contest from sharing the court with the 10th-most sluggish pace team in the league over the last 5 games (the Cavaliers).With respect to getting to the foul line, the New York Knicks's poor 21.9 foul shot attempts per game while playing on the road settles in as the 5th-worst in the league this year.This year when they are the visiting team, opposing starting SGs have attempted 1.4 foul shots per game (3rd-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers, facing an uphill battle to get to the free-throw line.
