Jaden McDaniels has accumulated 2.7 personal fouls per game this year, making him one of the most most-whistled players in the NBA (95th percentile).The 5th-slowest tempo offense in the league over the last 10 games has been the Timberwolves.The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the 5th-most sluggish tempo in the league over the last 15 games at home, which should decrease opportunities for the Timberwolves.The Minnesota Timberwolves check in as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 15 games, the opposing team's starting SFs have attempted 1.9 free throws per game (fewest in the NBA) against the Lakers, facing an uphill battle to get to the foul line.
