Out of all players in the league, Karl-Anthony Towns comes in at the 96th percentile for personal fouls, tallying an enormous 3.3 fouls per game when playing away from home this year.The Knicks have played at the least up-tempo pace in the league over the last 5 games when playing away from home.The Magic have played at the slowest pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 20 games, which should decrease opportunities for the Knicks.The New York Knicks have been the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league when playing on the road this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce further chances for scoring and assists).Karl-Anthony Towns will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing without the home court advantage generally lowers stat production in all facets of the game.
