In regard to shooting, the Orlando Magic's subpar 104.3 points per game as the road team settles in as the 3rd-fewest in the NBA this year.This year when they are away from home, the other team's starting SFs have averaged 33.3% on field goals (lowest in the NBA) vs. the New York Knicks, marking this as a challenging matchup.The Orlando Magic are expected to suffer a drop-off in plays in this contest from sharing the court with the 2nd-slowest pace-of-play team in the league this year (the Knicks).Over the last 15 games, opposing starting SFs have attempted 2.5 free throws per game (9th-lowest in the league) vs. the New York Knicks, making it tough to get to the charity stripe.Franz Wagner should suffer a drop-off in performance across the board in light of being on the road in this contest.
