Ricky Rubio has been called for 0.1 technical fouls per game this year, making him one of the most foul-prone players in the NBA when it comes to getting T'ed up (82nd percentile).The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the 3rd-slowest pace in the NBA over the last 25 games away from home.The Hornets have played at the 10th-most sluggish pace in the NBA over the last 10 games at home, which should lead to fewer plays for the Cavaliers.While at home, the Hornets have allowed the most offensive rebounds per game (11.9) in the league to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Ricky Rubio will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium usually lowers player production across the board.
