Myles Turner has tallied 3.3 personal fouls per game this year, placing him among the most-whistled players in the NBA (96th percentile).The Minnesota Timberwolves have played at the 9th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should decrease plays for the Indiana Pacers.The Pacers check in as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are on the road, their opposition has secured 12.9 offensive rebounds per game (3rd-most in the league) against the Minnesota Timberwolves (saving possessions that can result in bonus opportunities for offense).Myles Turner will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing without the home court advantage usually reduces stat production in all facets of the game.
