This year when they are the visiting squad, opposing teams have collected 9.1 offensive boards per game (2nd-fewest in the NBA) against the Heat (losing possessions that could otherwise result in added opportunities for offense).
Favors Under
The Magic have played at the least up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 15 games.
The Orlando Magic are expected to suffer a drop-off in opportunities in this contest from sharing the court with the 2nd-most lethargic tempo team in the NBA over the last 25 games (the Heat).
Markelle Fultz will not hold the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home stadium usually worsens player performance in all stat categories.
