Analyzing past performances, the Magic have shown they can put up big numbers offensively. In their recent away victory against the Pacers, they scored 117 points with an impressive true shooting percentage of 64 percent. Their ability to score in the paint was evident as they made 32 out of 49 attempts. However, turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession 15 times.


In another close contest against the Bucks, despite scoring 114 points and having a bench that contributed significantly with 43 points, it wasn't enough to secure a win. The team's three-point shooting was below par at just 24 percent from beyond the arc.
