The Orlando Magic have played at the 10th-most up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA this year.The Magic are expected to see a rise in plays today from competing against the 6th-quickest pace-of-play away team in the league over the last 5 games (the 76ers).The Orlando Magic check in as the 7th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league on their home court this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide new chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games when they are playing at home, opposing clubs have snagged 7.8 offensive rebounds per game (3rd-fewest in the NBA) against the Philadelphia 76ers (minimizing possessions that could otherwise lead to bonus chances for offense).Cole Anthony will receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing in your home city generally boosts player production in all facets of the game.
