Compared to last season's 4.0 clip, Nicolas Batum's shot attempts from downtown have dropped this season to 2.8 per game.The matchup against Minnesota is a hard one for shots from behind the three-point arc; when the Timberwolves are on the road, opposing starting PFs have totaled the 10th-least three attempts per game in the NBA this year (3.5).The 5th-slowest tempo team in the league this year has been the Philadelphia 76ers.The 76ers rank as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA while playing away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).The Timberwolves have allowed the 4th-most offensive rebounds per game (11.4) in the league to the other team since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create new chances for scoring and assists).
