Paolo Banchero has successfully made 23.2% of his three-point attempts since the start of last season, placing him in the 14th percentile out of all players in the league.The Hornets have played at the 10th-slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 10 games at home, which should lead to fewer opportunities for the Magic.The Orlando Magic rank as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games on the road (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).While on their home court, the Hornets have given up the most offensive rebounds per game (11.9) in the NBA to opposing teams this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).The matchup against Charlotte may be a challenging one for drawing fouls; the opposing team's starting PFs have attempted a lowly 2.2 free throws per game over the last 25 games when the Hornets are at home (11th-least in the NBA).
