Cole Anthony has been called for 2.6 personal fouls per game this year, putting him among the most foul-prone players in the NBA (89th percentile).The Hornets have played at the 10th-slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 10 games at home, which should lead to fewer opportunities for the Magic.The Orlando Magic rank as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games on the road (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).While on their home court, the Hornets have given up the most offensive rebounds per game (11.9) in the NBA to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).Cole Anthony will not have the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home stadium tends to reduces player performance across the board.
