The matchup vs. New Orleans is a difficult one for 3-pointers; when the New Orleans Pelicans are playing at home, opposing starting SFs have totaled the 10th-least shots from behind the three-point arc per game in the league this year (1.5).The 5th-most lethargic pace offense in the league over the last 5 games has been the Timberwolves.The Timberwolves will likely suffer a reduction in possessions in this contest from squaring off against the 6th-most sluggish tempo offense in the NBA this year (the New Orleans Pelicans).The Timberwolves rank as the 10th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA while on the road this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).
