Relative to last year's 3.0 clip, Andrew Wiggins's personal fouls per game have fallen this year to 2.2.The matchup vs. the Timberwolves is a strong one for shot attempts from beyond the arc; the opposing team's starting SFs have tallied the 27th-most three attempts per game in the NBA since the start of last season (5.4).The Warriors will likely get a boost in opportunities today from sharing the court with the 7th-fastest pace-of-play team in the NBA this year (the Timberwolves).The Golden State Warriors check in as the 3rd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide additional chances for scoring and assists).Without the home court advantage, the Minnesota Timberwolves have allowed the 7th-least offensive boards per game (9.5) in the NBA to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).
