The least up-tempo tempo team in the league over the last 15 games has been the Minnesota Timberwolves.The Timberwolves will likely experience a decrease in opportunities today from being pitted against the slowest pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (the Warriors).Offensive rebounds retain possession and result in added chances for scoring and assists, but the Timberwolves grade out 8thworst in in the league as the visting team with a mere 10.4 offensive rebounds per game this year.Nickeil Alexander-Walker will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home city usually lowers stat production across the board.
