Jalen Suggs has accumulated 2.8 personal fouls per game away from his home court this year, putting him in the 93rd percentile -- among the NBA's most-whistled.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).Jalen Suggs will not hold the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road usually decreases player performance across the board.
