Naz Reid has converted a mere 50.3% of his field goals this season, a significant dropoff from his 56.7 mark last season.The Minnesota Timberwolves have been the 6th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games, their opposition has grabbed 13.2 offensive boards per game (6th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Hornets (lengthening possessions that can create more chances for offense).This matchup is a strong one for getting to the foul line; when the Charlotte Hornets are away from home, opposing squads have attempted a massive 24.6 free throws per game this year (7th-most in the NBA).Naz Reid will not have the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing without the home court advantage usually reduces stat production for all stats.
