In regard to shooting, the Orlando Magic's subpar 104.3 points per game as the road team settles in as the 3rd-fewest in the NBA this year.This year when they are the visiting team, the opposing team's starting PFs have shot 18.6% on threes (lowest in the NBA) against the New York Knicks, making this a hard matchup.The Orlando Magic are expected to suffer a drop-off in plays in this contest from sharing the court with the 2nd-slowest pace-of-play team in the league this year (the Knicks).The matchup vs. New York is a tough one for getting to the free-throw line; opposing starting PFs have attempted a lowly 2.6 foul shots per game this year when the New York Knicks are on their home court (5th-least in the league).Tristan da Silva will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing while traveling tends to decrease stat production for all stats.
