Paolo Banchero has committed 3.2 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games while playing on the road, 1.1 more than he's committed in all games this season on the road.The matchup vs. New York is a difficult one for three-point shots; when the Knicks are at home, the other team's starting PFs have posted the 15th-lowest three rate in the NBA this year (18.6%).The Knicks have played at the most sluggish pace-of-play in the league with the home court advantage this year, which should lead to decreased possessions for the Orlando Magic.The Magic check in as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA while playing away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).Paolo Banchero will not have the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium usually reduces stat production in all stat categories.
