The matchup vs. Orlando is a difficult one; when the Orlando Magic are the visiting squad, they have given up the least points per game in the NBA to the opposing team's starting PFs over the last 10 games (15.1).The Magic have played at the least up-tempo pace in the league away from their home city this year, which should reduce plays for the Pacers.The Indiana Pacers rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 20 games playing at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 10 games when they are playing at home, the opposing team's starting PFs have attempted 2.8 foul shots per game (3rd-fewest in the NBA) against the Orlando Magic, making it tough to draw fouls.
