Key Factors

Favors Over

Among all players in the NBA, Cole Anthony lands in the 76th percentile, tallying a whopping 14.2 points per game on his home court this year.
Offensive rebounds retain possession and create further chances for scoring and assists, and the Magic rank 12thbest in in the league while playing at home with 12.6 offensive boards per game over the last 5 games.
Away from their home court, the Minnesota Timberwolves have given up the 2nd-least offensive boards per game (9.3) in the NBA to their opposition this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).
Cole Anthony has made 95.0% of his free throws over the last 5 games, 10.2% higher than he's put through the net overall this season.
The matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves may be a difficult one for getting to the free-throw line; the other team has attempted a measly 20.0 free throws per game over the last 5 games when the Minnesota Timberwolves are the visiting squad (4th-least in the NBA).

Favors Under

Cole Anthony has tallied 2.8 personal fouls per game this year, putting him among the highest-fouling players in the NBA (90th percentile).
With respect to shooting, the Orlando Magic's lackluster 107.2 points per game at home measures as the 4th-lowest in the NBA over the last 5 games.
The Magic have played at the 4th-most sluggish tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games as the home team.
The Magic are expected to suffer a drop-off in possessions in this contest from sharing the court with the 6th-most lethargic pace offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Minnesota Timberwolves).
