The Magic have played at the slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 15 games.The Magic are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities in this contest from squaring off against the 10th-most lethargic pace-of-play home offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Dallas Mavericks).Over the last 25 games when they are the visiting squad, opposing teams have collected 11.9 offensive rebounds per game (most in the league) vs. the Mavericks (maintaining possessions that can create extra opportunities for offense).Anthony Black will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city generally lowers player performance for all stats.
