Key Factors

Favors Over

Sam Merrill has put up a whopping 12.8 points per game this season, quite a bit higher than his 7.0 points per game last season.
This year when they are playing at home, the opposition's starting SFs have posted 18.9 points per game (3rd-most in the NBA) vs. the Orlando Magic, making this a strong matchup for offensive productivity.
The Cavaliers are expected to get a boost in possessions today from competing against the 8th-most up-tempo pace road team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Magic).
Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and lead to bonus opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Cavaliers grade out 10th-best in in the league with 12.0 offensive boards per game this year.
The matchup against Orlando is a good one for getting to the charity stripe; opposing starting SFs have attempted a monstrous 4.7 free throws per game this year when the Orlando Magic are away from home (3rd-most in the league).

Favors Under

The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the 3rd-slowest tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games when playing at home.
