Mike Conley has successfully made a mere 34.1% of his shot attempts from the field this season, significantly lower than his 44.7 rate last season.This year, opposing starting PGs have tallied 4.8 3-point attempts per game (2nd-fewest in the NBA) vs. the New York Knicks, designating this as a difficult matchup.The 3rd-most lethargic tempo offense in the league over the last 25 games has been the Minnesota Timberwolves.The Minnesota Timberwolves are expected to experience a decrease in plays today from squaring off against the 3rd-most sluggish tempo team in the league this year (the Knicks).The Timberwolves rank as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league as the away team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).
