While on their home court, the Brooklyn Nets have given up the 3rd-least offensive boards per game (8.7) in the NBA to their opposition over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).

Favors Under

The Timberwolves have played at the 9th-most sluggish pace in the league this year.
The Minnesota Timberwolves will likely suffer a reduction in possessions today from sharing the court with the 3rd-least up-tempo pace home offense in the NBA this year (the Nets).
Offensive rebounds preserve possession and lead to further chances for scoring and assists, but the Timberwolves grade out 2ndworst in in the league with a mere 8.5 offensive boards per game over the last 20 games.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker figures to see a decline in output in all facets of the game on account of playing away from home in this matchup.
