This year when they are on the road, the opposing team's starting SGs have tallied 5.2 three attempts per game (7th-fewest in the league) vs. the Magic, marking this as a tough matchup.The 5th-least up-tempo tempo road offense in the league this year has been the Clippers.The Clippers will likely suffer a drop-off in possessions today from being pitted against the 2nd-most lethargic pace-of-play home team in the NBA over the last 25 games (the Orlando Magic).Offensive rebounds preserve possession and bring about further chances for scoring and assists, but the LA Clippers grade out 4thworst in in the NBA as the away team with just 7.4 offensive boards per game over the last 5 games.Terance Mann will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city tends to reduce player performance across the board.
