PREVIEW: The Golden State Warriors enter Orlando ranked first in high-frequency three-point shooting at 50.8% of their attempts, establishing themselves as one of the league's most dangerous offensive forces from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, the Magic boast the league's stingiest perimeter defense, allowing just 35.8% of opponent three-point attempts and ranking first in that category. Golden State's turnover rate sits at 25th in the league, a potential weakness against a Warriors squad that ranks fifth in forcing turnovers. The Magic will be without Paolo Banchero due to a groin injury as they look to bounce back from a tough overtime loss to Houston. Orlando's inefficient three-point shooting at 27th in the league contrasts sharply with their strong interior defense, ranking fourth against shots attacking the rim. The Warriors arrive in Florida riding three consecutive road victories, most recently dominating New Orleans 124-106 with Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski leading the charge. If Jalen Suggs remains unavailable, the Magic lack an elite perimeter defender to contain Stephen Curry, who torched Orlando for 24 and 56 points in matchups last season. Both teams rank inside the top ten defensively but struggle offensively, setting up a battle where execution and health could prove decisive factors in this Eastern Conference encounter.
