The Timberwolves are expected to see an increase in possessions today from sharing the court with the 9th-fastest tempo home team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Chicago Bulls).The Bulls have allowed the least offensive boards per game (7.4) in the NBA to their opposition over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).When it comes to getting to the charity stripe, the Timberwolves's outstanding 23.7 foul shot attempts per game comes in as the 9th-best in the NBA this year.This year when they are the visiting squad, opposing clubs have attempted 21.3 free throws per game (6th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Bulls, making it tough to get to the free-throw line.
