The matchup vs. Minnesota is a tough one for shots from the field; when the Timberwolves have the home court advantage, opposing starting PGs have compiled the 14th-lowest field goal percentage in the league this year (31.8%).The Kings rank as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games away from home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).This year, their opposition has collected 11.6 offensive rebounds per game (9th-highest in the league) vs. the Timberwolves (retaining possessions that can create extra chances for offense).Since the start of last season when they are at home, the other team has attempted 25.7 foul shots per game (3rd-highest in the NBA) vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves, making it fairly effortless to draw fouls.De'Aaron Fox will not possess the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage usually worsens stat production in all stat categories.
