As it relates to shot attempts from downtown, the least aggressive offense in the NBA while on the road this year has been the Nuggets.This year when they are away from home, the opposing team's starting SFs have shot 26.8% on threes (4th-worst in the league) vs. the Timberwolves, designating this as a difficult matchup.The Minnesota Timberwolves have played at the 3rd-slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games, which should lead to fewer plays for the Denver Nuggets.Michael Porter Jr. will not enjoy the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city generally decreases stat production across the board.
