Warriors Analysis: Stephen Curry is averaging 26 points per game
Tuesday’s game between the Heat and the Warriors was close at the half, but the Warriors put on a show in the 2nd half, scoring 60 points. Golden State’s 113-92 triumph over Miami was the result of everything going their way. Klay Thompson, who produced 28 points and pulled down 5 rebounds, and Jonathan Kuminga, who chipped in with eighteen points and 7 rebounds, were among those driving the charge. But it will be difficult for Stephen Curry to overcome Orlando’s formidable defense in order to emerge from his slump. Since the All-Star break, Curry has averaged just 22.3 points on 40% shooting, down from 28 points on 46% shooting before the break.
Magic Analysis: They just lost a 5-game winning run
Despite having modest expectations going into the season, Orlando is now 5th in the Eastern Conference. The Magic, who own the third-best defensive rating in the league, have made their money at home. With the third fewest three-point attempts per game, Orlando gives up the 7th-lowest three-point percentage. The Magic rank 14th when it comes to rim defense. In addition, this team leads the league in turnovers per game and defensive rebounding percentage. Their 25th-ranked free throw percentage is one of their few defensive weaknesses. For this squad, offensively, it’s a different story. The Magic rank 26th in terms of points per game and 21st in terms of offensive rating. They have top-10 efficiency at the rim and are among the NBA’s greatest teams at going to the basket.
