News & Notes:
-Dallas has won their past 9 road games vs Eastern Conference opponents, with their last loss coming 1/20/2011 @ Chicago. Over those 9 games, they have averaged 101.3 points per game, while allowing just 92.3.
-Dallas is 6-2 in the 2nd game of a back to back this season, while the Cavaliers are 1-4.
-The Cavaliers have lost 4 of their past 5 home games overall. They have also lost their past 6 home games vs the West (since their upset of the Lakers last season), losing by an average of 11.6 points per game.
-Entering play Friday vs Indians, since returning to the lineup, Dirk Nowitzki is averaging 9.3 points on 28.2% shooting (11-39; 0-11 on 3's) in 34.7 minutes per game.
*As I submit this thread, Dirk is currently 9-13 shooting (1-3 from 3 pt land) for 22 points.*
Keys to the Game:
-Aggressive Defense. Dallas averages just 90.3 points on 28.8% 3pt shooting on the road vs 97.5 points on 33.9% 3pt shooting at home. Dallas has broken 100 points just 3 times in 10 road games this season. Conversely, they have allowed 100 points just 1 time on the road.
-Cut off penetration. In their wins this season, Dallas averages 20.6 3pt attempts; 23.1 FT attempts; and 22.4 assists per game. In their losses, they average 23.1 3pt attempts; 21.0 FT attempts; and 19.0 assists per game.
-Rebounding. The Cavaliers are T2nd in the league in opponents' rebounding, giving up just 39.5 per game, are T4th in Rebounding Diff at +2.4, and are 1st in the league in Offensive Rebounding Diff (+2.5). While Dallas isn't a horrible rebounding team, they are in the middle of the pack, and the Cavaliers need to take advantage of this.
