Over the last 10 games when they are away from home, the opposing team's starting PGs have averaged 12.8 points per game (2nd-lowest in the NBA) against the Rockets, making this a challenging matchup for offensive productivity.The Orlando Magic have played at the 10th-most sluggish pace in the league over the last 5 games.The Orlando Magic are expected to see a decline in opportunities in this game from facing the 3rd-least up-tempo tempo team in the league this year (the Houston Rockets).The Magic rank as the 10th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).The matchup vs. Houston may be a difficult one for getting to the charity stripe; the other team's starting PGs have attempted a measly 1.7 foul shots per game over the last 10 games when the Rockets are on their home court (least in the league).
