Donte DiVincenzo has converted 3.3 3-pointers per game over the last 15 games, 0.7 higher than he's converted from three over the course of the season.This year when they are at home, the other team's starting SGs have tallied 20.2 points per game (30th-most in the NBA) against the Magic, identifying this as a positive matchup for offensive effectiveness.The Knicks are expected to see a rise in plays today from squaring off against the 8th-speediest pace-of-play visiting team in the league over the last 20 games (the Orlando Magic).Offensive rebounds maintain possession and bring about further chances for scoring and assists, and the Knicks grade out 13thbest in in the NBA while at home with 13.1 offensive boards per game this year.The Magic have given up the 2nd-least offensive boards per game (9.4) in the NBA to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).
