This year when they have the home court advantage, the other team's starting SGs have shot 38.1% on shots from the field (12th-lowest in the league) vs. the Celtics, making this a difficult matchup.The 2nd-slowest tempo home offense in the NBA over the last 5 games has been the Cavaliers.The Cleveland Cavaliers will likely see a decline in plays in this game from competing against the 2nd-most lethargic pace-of-play away offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Boston Celtics).The Cleveland Cavaliers rank as the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).The Boston Celtics have given up the 4th-most offensive boards per game (11.8) in the NBA to their opposition over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide new chances for scoring and assists).
