The matchup vs. the New Orleans Pelicans is a challenging one for field goal attempts; the opposing team's starting SFs have tallied the least shot attempts per game in the league this year (9.1).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).The matchup against the Pelicans may be a difficult one for getting to the charity stripe; the opposing team's starting SFs have attempted a mere 2.1 foul shots per game over the last 20 games (2nd-least in the NBA).
