The Orlando Magic enable their opponents to secure only 9.2 offensive rebounds while producing league minimum second-chance points at 11.9 points per contest.

During his previous two matchups against the Magic before his strong offensive show, Okongwu managed to score only nine along with 11 points respectively. His pair of games against the Magic resulted in six-for-seven from the free throw line and no more than three offensive rebounds combined.

The players who brought crucial contributions to the team missed several games during this season.

Offense continues to stand as this team's primary deterrent much in the same way as the previous season.

The play-in appearance accurately demonstrates the Atlanta Hawks' current basketball standing since no one predicted them to be one of the Eastern Conference's top six teams. The burden on Trae Young increased significantly because Jaylen Johnson who suffered a major injury during the early part of the season needed to sit out of many games. The leadership of Trae Young has produced numerous weaknesses in his teams that are commonly recognized.
