The least up-tempo tempo team in the NBA over the last 15 games has been the Timberwolves.The Timberwolves are expected to suffer a drop-off in possessions today from being pitted against the 3rd-most sluggish pace team in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Mavericks).The Minnesota Timberwolves rank as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Nickeil Alexander-Walker will not hold the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home court generally reduces player performance in all facets of the game.
