D'Angelo Russell has been on the court for 38.8 minutes per game over the last 5 games, 6.2 higher than he's been on the court for in all games this year.The Minnesota Timberwolves have played at the 3rd-speediest pace-of-play in the league with the home court advantage this year.The Warriors have played at the quickest pace-of-play in the league this year, which should boost opportunities for the Timberwolves.Without the home court advantage, the Warriors have allowed the 5th-most offensive rebounds per game (9.6) in the league to opposing squads over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create added opportunities for scoring and assists).D'Angelo Russell will have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing in your home city tends to improves player performance in all facets of the game.
