Out of all players in the NBA, Jalen Williams rates in the 88th percentile for personal fouls, totaling an enormous 2.7 fouls per game this year.This year, the other team's starting PFs have compiled 14.5 points per game (15th-lowest in the league) against the Timberwolves, marking this as a tough matchup for offensive productivity.The Thunder will likely suffer a reduction in opportunities today from competing against the 4th-most lethargic pace-of-play home offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Minnesota Timberwolves).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and create bonus opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Oklahoma City Thunder grade out 1stworst in in the league with a mere 8.3 offensive boards per game this year.While playing at home, the Minnesota Timberwolves have allowed the 10th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.4) in the league to their opposition this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to added chances for scoring and assists).
