Sam Merrill Points
Player Prop - 1/22/2024

Orlando Magic vs Cleveland Cavaliers

Sam Merrill Points Prop is currently Over/Under 11.5 (-105/-115).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 11.5 @ +102 before it was bet up to 11.5 @ -105.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:

Sam Merrill has attempted 10.8 shots per game over the last 5 games, 4.2 more than he's attempted overall this year.

Sam Merrill has attempted 9.2 treys per game over the last 5 games, 3.6 higher than he's attempted over the course of the season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers rank as the 8th-highest scoring offense in the NBA over the last 10 games.

While at home, the Magic have given up the least offensive rebounds per game (8.8) in the league to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:

The 6th-least up-tempo tempo away team in the league over the last 10 games has been the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers will likely see a decline in possessions in this game from squaring off against the most lethargic tempo offense in the league over the last 10 games (the Magic).

The Cavaliers check in as the 9th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer chances for scoring and assists).

This matchup may be a positive one for getting to the charity stripe; when the Orlando Magic are on their home court, the other team has attempted an enormous 26.2 foul shots per game over the last 15 games (3rd-most in the league).

Sam Merrill will not have the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home court generally decreases player performance in all facets of the game.
