Sam Merrill has posted 1.0 defensive boards per game on the road this year, putting him in the 22nd percentile -- among the league's worst by this standard.The Cavaliers are expected to suffer a reduction in possessions in this contest from sharing the court with the 2nd-most lethargic pace team in the league over the last 25 games (the Boston Celtics).Sam Merrill will not hold the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home city generally worsens player production across the board.
