Jonathan Isaac has compiled 0.5 assists per game when playing on the road this year, placing him in the 15th percentile -- among the NBA's trailers by this metric.The Orlando Magic have played at the most lethargic pace in the league over the last 25 games away from their home court.The Magic are expected to suffer a reduction in plays today from squaring off against the 3rd-least up-tempo pace team in the NBA over the last 25 games (the 76ers).The Magic rank as the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games while playing away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).Jonathan Isaac will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home stadium generally reduces player performance in all facets of the game.
