Mike Conley has committed 3.0 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games while playing away from home, 1.3 higher than he's committed in all games this year on the road.The least up-tempo tempo team in the NBA over the last 15 games has been the Timberwolves.The Timberwolves are expected to suffer a drop-off in possessions today from being pitted against the 3rd-most sluggish pace team in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Mavericks).The Minnesota Timberwolves rank as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Mike Conley will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home court tends to decrease stat production in all facets of the game.
