Sacramento @ Cleveland picks

Harrison Barnes has tallied 36.4 minutes per game over the last 5 games away from his home court, 6.2 more than he's tallied in all games this year on the road. The 4th-most up-tempo pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 10 games has been the Sacramento Kings. Over the last 20 games, their opposition has come down with 8.4 offensive rebounds per game (lowest in the league) vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers (losing possessions that could otherwise bring about bonus opportunities for offense).

Donovan Mitchell has averaged 0.4 technical fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.3 more than he's averaged in all games this season. The 10th-most sluggish tempo team in the league over the last 25 games has been the Cavaliers.

Jarrett Allen has converted a lowly 0.0% of his three-point attempts this season, significantly less than his 10.0 rate last season. This year, the other team has shot 48.5% on shot attempts from the field (10th-best in the league) against the Sacramento Kings, resulting in a strong matchup. While away from his home court and guarding other starting Cs, Domantas Sabonis ranks in the 7th percentile with just 8.4 field goal attempts against him per game this year. The 10th-most sluggish tempo team in the league over the last 25 games has been the Cavaliers. As a team, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been lousy at getting to the foul line when playing at home: 2nd-worst in the league this year, drawing a lowly 19.6 foul shots per game.
