Sam Merrill Points
Player Prop - 11/19/2024

Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers

Sam Merrill Points Prop is currently Over/Under 8.5 (-135/+105).

The money has been on the Under as it opened 8.5 @ +110 before it was bet down to 8.5 @ +105.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:

With respect to shooting, the Cleveland Cavaliers's stellar 123.7 points per game rates best in the league this year.

The matchup vs. the Boston Celtics is a strong one for shots from behind the three-point arc; the other team's starting SFs have averaged the 2nd-most three attempts per game in the NBA this year (5.8).

The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the 3rd-speediest tempo in the NBA over the last 15 games.

Sam Merrill has made 100.0% of his foul shot attempts this year, placing him in the 100th percentile among all players in the league.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:

The Boston Celtics have played at the most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA in their home stadium this year, which should lead to fewer opportunities for the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).

Over the last 10 games when they are away from home, the opposing team's starting SFs have attempted 2.6 free throws per game (4th-lowest in the league) against the Boston Celtics, struggling to get to the charity stripe.

Sam Merrill will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing without the home court advantage tends to decrease stat production in all stat categories.
