When it comes to three-point shots, the Sacramento Kings's poor 33.9% rate of made threes without the home court advantage ranks 5th-fewest in the league over the last 5 games.This year, opposing starting SFs have shot 40.6% on shots from the field (13th-worst in the league) vs. the Timberwolves, branding this as a difficult matchup.The Timberwolves have played at the 4th-least up-tempo tempo in the NBA over the last 15 games, which should lead to fewer plays for the Kings.Over the last 5 games when they are away from home, opposing teams have nabbed 12.2 offensive boards per game (6th-most in the league) against the Timberwolves (continuing possessions that can bring about bonus opportunities for offense).The matchup against the Timberwolves is a tough one for getting to the charity stripe; the opposing team's starting SFs have attempted just 2.4 free throws per game this year (6th-least in the NBA).
