Naz Reid has accumulated 2.3 personal fouls per game away from home this year, placing him in the 75th percentile -- among the NBA's most foul-prone.The Mavericks have played at the least up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 5 games on their home court, which should lead to fewer possessions for the Timberwolves.The Minnesota Timberwolves rank as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Naz Reid will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home stadium generally worsens player performance in all stat categories.
