The Rockets have played at the quickest pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games.

In terms of shooting, the Rockets's lackluster 111.6 points per game while on the road ranks 9th-fewest in the league this year.
The matchup vs. the Timberwolves is a difficult one for shots from the field; the other team's starting PGs have shot for the 15th-lowest field goal rate in the league this year (39.8%).
The Timberwolves have played at the 2nd-slowest tempo in the league over the last 5 games, which should lead to decreased opportunities for the Houston Rockets.
