The 5th-slowest tempo offense in the league over the last 10 games has been the Timberwolves.The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the 5th-most sluggish tempo in the league over the last 15 games at home, which should decrease opportunities for the Timberwolves.The Minnesota Timberwolves check in as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).Nickeil Alexander-Walker will not have the home court advantage in this game. Playing while traveling tends to decrease player performance in all stat categories.
