Sam Merrill Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (+160/-200).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The 5th-speediest pace-of-play visiting offense in the league over the last 5 games has been the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are expected to see an increase in opportunities in this game from being pitted against the 9th-fastest tempo home offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (the Sacramento Kings).
The Cavaliers have been the 6th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce added chances for scoring and assists).
Favors Under
Sam Merrill will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city usually decreases player production for all stats.
