Bol Bol has been on the court for 5.8 minutes per game while playing on the road this year, ranking in the 6th percentile -- putting him among the least-utilized plays in the league.This matchup is a strong one for threes; when the Pelicans are playing at home, their opposition have compiled the 8th-highest 3-point rate in the NBA against them this year (36.2%).The Pelicans have played at the 2nd-most sluggish pace in the league over the last 10 games with the home court advantage, which should decrease opportunities for the Magic.The Orlando Magic rank as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 15 games away from their home court (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Bol Bol will not enjoy the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage usually reduces player production in all facets of the game.
