Michael Porter Jr. has been called for 2.3 personal fouls per game this year, ranking him as one of the most foul-prone players in the league (75th percentile).The matchup vs. Franz Wagner is a good one for attempts from downtown; when defending fellow starting SFs this year, they have attempted a monstrous 5.7 threes per game (10th percentile).The Magic have played at the 5th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games in their home stadium, which should reduce plays for the Nuggets.The Denver Nuggets check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games on the road (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).The matchup against Franz Wagner is a difficult one for drawing fouls; when Wagner is on his home court and facing fellow starting SFs this year, they have attempted a measly 3.7 free throws per game (76th percentile).
