The Clippers rank as the 7th-lowest scoring offense in the NBA this year.This year, the opposing team's starting PGs have averaged 39.8% on field goal attempts (weakest in the league) vs. the Timberwolves, resulting in a difficult matchup.The Timberwolves have played at the 4th-most lethargic pace in the league over the last 5 games, which should decrease plays for the LA Clippers.Over the last 15 games, the opposition's starting PGs have attempted 3.3 free throws per game (5th-fewest in the league) vs. the Timberwolves, making it tough to get to the charity stripe.James Harden will not enjoy the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home stadium generally decreases player performance across the board.
