The matchup vs. Orlando is a tough one; when the Orlando Magic are the visiting squad, they have allowed the 14th-least points per game in the league to opposing starting PFs this year (13.2).The 4th-slowest pace-of-play home offense in the NBA over the last 15 games has been the Celtics.The Boston Celtics check in as the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games with the home court advantage (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).In contrast to last year's 8.1 rate, Jayson Tatum's number of foul shots has tailed off this year to 6.7 foul shots per game.This year, opposing starting PFs have attempted 2.6 foul shots per game (13th-lowest in the NBA) against the Orlando Magic, finding it difficult to get to the free-throw line.
