Karl-Anthony Towns has committed 4.4 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.0 more than he's committed over the course of the year.This year, the other team's starting PFs have averaged 3.7 three attempts per game (4th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Nuggets, creating a difficult matchup.The Timberwolves have played at the 6th-most lethargic tempo in the NBA over the last 20 games when playing on the road.The Nuggets have played at the 3rd-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games with the home court advantage, which should lead to decreased possessions for the Timberwolves.The Timberwolves have been the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).
