Among all players in the NBA, Anthony Edwards comes in at the 82nd percentile for personal fouls, averaging an enormous 2.5 fouls per game when playing away from home since the start of last season.The Timberwolves are expected to experience a decrease in possessions today from being pitted against the 9th-most lethargic pace-of-play team in the NBA this year (the Golden State Warriors).The Minnesota Timberwolves check in as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are the visiting team, opposing clubs have collected 11.3 offensive rebounds per game (8th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Warriors (saving possessions that can lead to further chances for offense).Anthony Edwards will likely suffer a reduction in effectiveness in all stat categories as a result of playing on the visting team in this game.
