Against Orlando Magic, Miami maintained this high-scoring trend by posting another solid performance with a total score of 115 points. Their three-point efficiency was remarkable at around 52 percent, which played a crucial role in securing that win.


The venue for the upcoming game might pose some challenges for Miami as they step into enemy territory at Capital One Arena. However, given their recent form and ability to maintain high efficiency from both inside and beyond the arc while keeping turnovers relatively low compared to opponents', there is optimism that they can extend their winning ways.
