Markelle Fultz has posted a lowly 1.8 defensive rebounds per game this year, quite a bit less than his 2.8 defensive rebounds per game last year.The Knicks have played at the most sluggish pace-of-play in the league with the home court advantage this year, which should lead to decreased possessions for the Orlando Magic.The Magic check in as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA while playing away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).Markelle Fultz figures to suffer a drop-off in production in all stat categories in light of being on the road in this game.
