The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the 6th-speediest pace-of-play in the league over the last 20 games.
The Cleveland Cavaliers will likely see an increase in plays in this contest from sharing the court with the 6th-most up-tempo pace offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Timberwolves).
Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and produce more opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Cavaliers rank 5th-best in in the NBA playing at home with 11.9 offensive boards per game over the last 20 games.

Favors Under

As a team, the Cavaliers have been lousy at getting to the foul line recently: 3rd-worst in the NBA over the last 10 games with a measly 19.4 free throw attempts per game.
