Key Factors

Favors Over

Mikal Bridges has notched 19.9 points per game while playing on the road this year, putting him in the 90th percentile -- among the NBA's best by this metric.
Mikal Bridges has attempted 9.7 shots from downtown per game over the last 15 games, 2.7 higher than he's attempted overall this year.
Among all players in the league, Mikal Bridges registers in the 94th percentile for playing time, averaging a colossal 34.8 minutes per game while playing on the road this year.
The matchup against the Orlando Magic is a strong one for field goal attempts; the other team's starting SGs have totaled the 30th-most shot attempts per game in the league this year (14.8).
Offensive rebounds continue possession and lead to further opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Brooklyn Nets grade out 6thbest in in the league with 11.7 offensive rebounds per game this year.

Favors Under

With respect to offense, the Nets's feeble 104.5 points per game ranks 2nd-fewest in the NBA over the last 10 games.
The 6th-most lethargic tempo offense in the league over the last 25 games has been the Nets.
The Nets are expected to see a decline in plays today from being pitted against the most sluggish tempo home team in the league over the last 10 games (the Orlando Magic).
Mikal Bridges will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing without the home court advantage tends to worsen player performance in all facets of the game.
