Obi Toppin has accumulated 3.4 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.2 higher than he's accumulated over the course of the year.The Minnesota Timberwolves have played at the 9th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should decrease plays for the Indiana Pacers.The Pacers check in as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are on the road, their opposition has secured 12.9 offensive rebounds per game (3rd-most in the league) against the Minnesota Timberwolves (saving possessions that can result in bonus opportunities for offense).Obi Toppin should experience a decrease in productivity in all facets of the game as a result of playing away from home in this matchup.
