Last season's analytics reveal that Orlando Magic had a solid performance with an average of 111 points per game. Their offensive prowess was evident as they maintained high efficiency across various scoring methods. With a perfect free throw and two-point percentage, along with an equally impressive true shooting and fast break percentage, it's clear that when they get into rhythm, they can be unstoppable.


Defensively, Orlando showed competence with an average of 7 steals and nearly 5 blocks per game. However, their discipline on defense might need tightening up as they averaged over 20 personal fouls per game which could give opponents easy scoring opportunities from the line.

The venue could play a significant role in this upcoming contest. Playing away from home always presents challenges; however, if last season's stats are anything to go by – where field goal percentages were not specified – there may be room for improvement in shooting accuracy for Orlando when playing in such high-pressure environments.


Fans should look out for how well Orlando manages ball control since turnovers were previously averaging above 14 per game. Minimizing these will be crucial against a team like Cleveland that can capitalize on such mistakes.
