The 6th-most lethargic pace offense in the NBA over the last 5 games has been the Minnesota Timberwolves.The Timberwolves will likely suffer a reduction in plays in this contest from facing the 4th-most sluggish pace home team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Magic).The Minnesota Timberwolves have been the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 10 games when they are away from home, opposing squads have attempted 28.4 foul shots per game (most in the NBA) vs. the Magic, succeeding in their efforts to get to the free-throw line.Nickeil Alexander-Walker stands to suffer a drop-off in performance for all stats as a result of playing away from home in this contest.
