This year when they are the visiting squad, the opposing team's starting SFs have shot 26.8% on threes (4th-worst in the league) against the Timberwolves, marking this as a hard matchup.The Timberwolves have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo tempo in the league over the last 25 games, which should decrease plays for the LA Clippers.Offensive rebounds retain possession and result in added opportunities for scoring and assists, but the LA Clippers grade out 4thworst in in the NBA with just 9.0 offensive rebounds per game over the last 10 games.Norman Powell will not have the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing while traveling generally decreases stat production across the board.
