Key Factors
Favors Over
The Mavericks have played at the 3rd-fastest pace in the NBA over the last 15 games while on the road.
Favors Under
Derrick Jones Jr. has accumulated 2.6 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.9 more than he's accumulated over the course of the season.
The Dallas Mavericks are expected to experience a decrease in plays today from squaring off against the 10th-most sluggish tempo offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Minnesota Timberwolves).
The Dallas Mavericks have been the 9th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA as the road team 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 squad, opposing teams have nabbed 12.5 offensive rebounds per game (3rd-most in the NBA) against the Timberwolves (retaining possessions that can lead to more chances for offense).
Derrick Jones Jr. stands to experience a decrease in efficiency across the board in light of playing away from home in this contest.
