Analysis

Sam Merrill Points Prop is currently Over/Under 9.5 (-105/-125).

Key Factors

Favors Over

The matchup against Detroit is a favorable one for threes; when the Detroit Pistons are on the road, the opposition's starting SFs have shot for the 4th-highest three percentage in the NBA this year (45.0%).
The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the 3rd-speediest pace in the NBA over the last 5 games on their home court.
Offensive rebounds maintain possession and lead to bonus chances for scoring and assists, and the Cavaliers rank 6th-best in in the league with 12.8 offensive boards per game over the last 15 games.

Favors Under

The Cleveland Cavaliers are expected to suffer a drop-off in plays in this game from squaring off against the 8th-most sluggish pace visiting team in the league over the last 5 games (the Pistons).
When it comes to getting to the charity stripe, the Cleveland Cavaliers's subpar 18.0 foul shots per game at home ranks worst in the NBA over the last 5 games.
