Interior issues
With Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love sitting out, the Cavs are going to have their hands full against one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA. The Trail Blazers rank third in rebounds per game (45.3), spearheaded by the efforts of Nurkic (8.5 RPG), Ed Davis (7.6 RPG), Al-Farouq Aminu (7.3 RPG) and Noah Vonley (5.1 RPG).
Opponents have dominated the glass over Cleveland’s last three contests…
- Wednesday, March 7 vs. Nuggets: outrebounded 51-35
- Friday, March 9 vs. Clippers: outrebounded 52-40
- Sunday, March 11 vs. Lakers: outrebounded 51-37
Gaining an advantage in this department has been rare, and will be a key if the Cavaliers want to stop the longest winning streak in the league.
