This year when they are playing at home, opposing starting PFs have shot 47.7% on 3-pointers (2nd-highest in the NBA) vs. the New York Knicks, identifying this as a positive matchup.The Orlando Magic have been the 5th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide added chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games, the opposition's starting PFs have attempted 5.2 foul shots per game (5th-most in the NBA) vs. the Knicks, easily managing to get to the charity stripe.Wendell Carter Jr. will likely get a boost in efficiency in all stat categories considering owning the home court advantage in this game.
