Mike Conley has accumulated 3.0 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.2 higher than he's accumulated in all games this season.This year when they are away from home, the opposing team's starting PGs have shot 20.5% on three-pointers (2nd-weakest in the NBA) vs. the Denver Nuggets, labeling this as a hard matchup.The Timberwolves have played at the 6th-most lethargic tempo in the NBA over the last 20 games when playing on the road.The Nuggets have played at the 3rd-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games with the home court advantage, which should lead to decreased possessions for the Timberwolves.The Timberwolves have been the 7th-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).
