Sam Merrill Points
Player Prop - 5/15/2024

Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers

Sam Merrill Points Prop is currently Over/Under 8.5 (-145/+106).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 8.5 @ -137 before it was bet up to 8.5 @ -145.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been the 10th-highest scoring offense in the NBA this year with respect to shots from downtown.

Out of all players in the league, Sam Merrill places in the 94th percentile for free-throw prowess while playing on the road with a phenomenal 96.3% rate this year.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:

Sam Merrill has attempted 3.8 field goals per game over the last 15 games, 2.2 lower than he's attempted overall this season.

The 5th-most sluggish pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 15 games has been the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers are expected to experience a decrease in opportunities in this game from competing against the slowest pace home offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Boston Celtics).

The Cleveland Cavaliers rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games as the road team (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).

Sam Merrill will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage generally reduces player production in all facets of the game.
