Mike Conley has averaged 0.0 technical fouls per game while on his home court this year, ranking him in the 80th percentile -- among the league's most foul-prone when it comes to technicals.The Timberwolves are expected to experience a decrease in possessions today from being pitted against the 9th-most lethargic pace-of-play team in the NBA this year (the Golden State Warriors).The Minnesota Timberwolves check in as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are the visiting team, opposing clubs have collected 11.3 offensive rebounds per game (8th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Warriors (saving possessions that can lead to further chances for offense).Mike Conley will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium usually reduces player production in all facets of the game.
