The matchup against the Jazz is a challenging one for threes; the opposition's starting PGs have compiled the lowest three rate in the NBA this year (26.5%).The 5th-least up-tempo tempo team in the NBA over the last 5 games has been the Minnesota Timberwolves.The Utah Jazz have played at the 7th-slowest pace-of-play in the NBA away from their home city this year, which should lead to decreased possessions for the Minnesota Timberwolves.The Timberwolves have been the 6th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).The matchup vs. Utah is a tough one for getting to the foul line; the other team's starting PGs have attempted just 2.4 free throws per game this year when the Utah Jazz are on the road (4th-least in the league).
