Josh Richardson has been called for 0.4 technical fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.3 higher than he's been called for in all games this year.Over the last 12 games, opposing clubs have averaged 38.3% on 3-pointers (9th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Orlando Magic, branding this as a strong matchup.The Miami Heat have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA as the road team this year.The Miami Heat rank as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).Josh Richardson will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage tends to worsen player production in all facets of the game.
