Sixers-Cavs by the numbers: Pressure, threes and a 29-point rematch

The Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers will meet Friday in an NBA Cup rematch following Philadelphia's franchise-record 29-point comeback win on Oct. 22. Philadelphia previously overcame a 69-45 halftime deficit to win 114-106 behind 28 points from Tyrese Maxey. The 8-1 Sixers enter on a five-game winning streak, while the 4-4 Cavaliers have lost two straight games heading into their Cup debut.

The matchup features Philadelphia's second-ranked defense against Cleveland's ninth-ranked offense. Key statistical battlegrounds include turnovers, where the Sixers boast the league's second-lowest giveaway rate, and rebounding, where Cleveland holds an advantage despite center Jarrett Allen being listed as questionable with a knee injury.
