Ricky Rubio has committed 0.1 technical fouls per game this year, putting him among the highest-fouling players in the NBA when it comes to technicals (82nd percentile).The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the 3rd-slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 25 games when playing away from home.The Hawks have played at the 9th-most lethargic pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games, which should lead to decreased opportunities for the Cavaliers.While at home, the Hawks have given up the 3rd-most offensive rebounds per game (12.6) in the NBA to opposing clubs over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce added opportunities for scoring and assists).Ricky Rubio will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing while traveling usually lowers player production in all stat categories.
