The Nuggets have played at the 5th-most sluggish pace in the NBA while playing away from home this year.The Nuggets rank as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).Since the start of last season, the other team has come down with 11.1 offensive boards per game (5th-most in the league) vs. the Timberwolves (saving possessions that can create bonus opportunities for offense).Michael Porter Jr. will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home city generally decreases stat production in all stat categories.
