In contrast to last year's 10.2 clip, Stephen Curry's shots from the field sunk have regressed this year to 8.8 per game.The Magic have played at the 3rd-least up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 25 games, which should reduce opportunities for the Golden State Warriors.When it comes to getting to the foul line, the Golden State Warriors's lackluster 16.3 free throw attempts per game ranks worst in the league over the last 15 games.This year, the opposing team's starting PGs have attempted 3.3 free throws per game (5th-fewest in the league) against the Magic, finding it difficult to draw fouls.Stephen Curry will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city generally reduces player production across the board.
