Mike Conley has been called for 2.6 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 0.9 higher than he's been called for overall this year.The matchup vs. Denver is a hard one for three-point shots; when the Denver Nuggets are playing at home, opposing starting PGs have shot for the 2nd-lowest 3-point rate in the league this year (20.5%).The 6th-least up-tempo pace visiting team in the league over the last 20 games has been the Minnesota Timberwolves.The Timberwolves are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities today from squaring off against the 4th-most lethargic tempo team in the NBA this year (the Nuggets).The Minnesota Timberwolves rank as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).
