CJ McCollum has attempted a lowly 15.2 shots per game this year, quite a bit less than his 17.9 mark last year.With respect to three-point attempts, the 4th-least aggressive team in the league this year has been the Pelicans.This year, the opposing team's starting PGs have shot 39.8% on field goals (15th-weakest in the league) against the Timberwolves, branding this as a challenging matchup.While at home, the Timberwolves have given up the 4th-most offensive boards per game (12.2) in the NBA to their opposition this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 15 games, the opposition's starting PGs have attempted 3.3 free throws per game (11th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Timberwolves, struggling to get to the charity stripe.
