Key Factors

Favors Over

Paolo Banchero has put up 3.9 assists per game this year on the road, placing him among the hottest players in the NBA in this category over this stretch of games: 84th percentile.
Among all players in the league, Paolo Banchero rates in the 90th percentile for playing time, registering a colossal 34.1 minutes per game this year.
The Magic have played at the 5th-quickest pace in the league over the last 5 games.

Favors Under

Paolo Banchero has tallied 0.1 technical fouls per game when playing on the road this year, ranking in the 78th percentile -- among the league's highest-fouling when it comes to technicals.
The Magic are expected to suffer a reduction in possessions today from facing the most sluggish pace-of-play home offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Phoenix Suns).
The Magic check in as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league when playing away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).
The Phoenix Suns have allowed the 8th-most offensive boards per game (11.3) in the league to their opposition this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional chances for scoring and assists).
Paolo Banchero stands to suffer a drop-off in effectiveness across the board due to playing on the visting team in this contest.
