Over the last 5 games, the opposition's starting PFs have attempted 4.8 foul shots per game (7th-highest in the league) vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers, succeeding in their efforts to get to the free-throw line.
Favors Under
The Charlotte Hornets have been the 5th-lowest scoring offense in the league on their home court this year.
