Nikola Jokic has been called for 2.7 personal fouls per game this year, putting him among the highest-fouling players in the league (86th 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).Nikola Jokic will not have the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city tends to lowers player production across the board.
