This year when they are on the road, the opposing team's starting SGs have totaled 1.3 threes per game (lowest in the league) vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves, identifying this as a tough matchup.The Magic have played at the slowest pace in the league while on the road this year.The Magic will likely suffer a drop-off in opportunities in this contest from being pitted against the 6th-most lethargic pace home offense in the NBA over the last 20 games (the Timberwolves).The Magic rank as the 6th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).Tristan da Silva stands to see a decline in output across the board due to playing on the visting team in this matchup.
