In terms of 3-point attempts, the least aggressive team in the league on the road this year has been the Nuggets.This year, the other team's starting PGs have shot 39.8% on field goals (worst in the league) vs. the Timberwolves, labeling this as a hard matchup.The Timberwolves have played at the 5th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games, which should lead to decreased plays for the Denver Nuggets.The matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves may be a tough one for getting to the charity stripe; the opposition's starting PGs have attempted a mere 3.3 free throws per game over the last 15 games (5th-least in the league).Jamal Murray will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium tends to reduce stat production for all stats.
