This year when they have the home court advantage, the opposition's starting PGs have tallied 5.2 shots made from the field per game (13th-fewest in the league) vs. the Hornets, resulting in a hard matchup.The Minnesota Timberwolves have been the 6th-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).Over the last 5 games, their opposition has grabbed 13.2 offensive boards per game (6th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Hornets (lengthening possessions that can create more chances for offense).The matchup vs. the Charlotte Hornets is a difficult one for getting to the free-throw line; the opposition's starting PGs have attempted a measly 2.9 foul shots per game this year (11th-least in the league).Mike Conley should experience a decrease in effectiveness for all stats considering playing away from hom in this game.
