The matchup against Memphis is a good one for shot attempts from beyond the arc; when the Memphis Grizzlies are the visiting squad, opposing starting PFs have averaged the 30th-most three attempts per game in the league this year (6.5).The Grizzlies have played at the 5th-speediest pace in the NBA over the last 5 games without the home court advantage, which should lead to increased possessions for the Minnesota Timberwolves.The Grizzlies have allowed the 9th-least offensive boards per game (10.4) in the league to their opposition this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).
