Relative to last year's 44.7% rate, Mike Conley's shooting prowess has declined this year to 31.3%.This year, the opposition's starting PGs have averaged 29.8% on threes (3rd-worst in the NBA) against the Trail Blazers, resulting in a hard matchup.The 10th-most sluggish pace away team in the league this year has been the Minnesota Timberwolves.The Timberwolves have been the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA as the visting team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).Mike Conley should suffer a drop-off in efficiency across the board as a result of playing away from home in this matchup.
