Scotty Pippen Jr. has successfully made 50.0% of his 3-pointers playing at home since the start of last season, putting him in the 96th percentile among all players in the NBA.This year, the other team's starting PGs have shot 41.4% on 3-pointers (29th-best in the league) against the Cavaliers, resulting in a favorable matchup.The Grizzlies rank as the 7th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide added opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 25 games, opposing clubs have secured 8.8 offensive boards per game (lowest in the league) vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers (shortening possessions that could otherwise lead to added opportunities for offense).Scotty Pippen Jr. will likely see an increase in output in all facets of the game as a result of holding the home court advantage in this game.
