This year when they are the visiting team, the opposing team's starting SFs have shot 26.8% on three-pointers (4th-lowest in the league) vs. the Timberwolves, designating this as a challenging matchup.The least up-tempo pace road offense in the league this year has been the Knicks.The Timberwolves have played at the 4th-most lethargic pace in the league over the last 10 games, which should lead to decreased opportunities for the New York Knicks.Offensive rebounds continue possession and spark added opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Knicks grade out 3rdworst in in the NBA while on the road with just 8.6 offensive rebounds per game this year.OG Anunoby will not hold the home court advantage in this contest. Playing on the road tends to decrease player production across the board.
