Bruce Brown has made 21.6% of his 3-point shots this year, putting him in the 12th percentile among all players in the league.The matchup against Minnesota is a hard one for three-pointers; when the Timberwolves are at home, the opposing team's starting SFs have compiled the 7th-lowest three rate in the NBA this year (29.2%).The Minnesota Timberwolves have played at the 9th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should decrease plays for the Indiana Pacers.The Pacers check in as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are on the road, their opposition has secured 12.9 offensive rebounds per game (3rd-most in the league) against the Minnesota Timberwolves (saving possessions that can result in bonus opportunities for offense).
