Out of all players in the NBA, Rudy Gobert rates in the 98th percentile for personal fouls, averaging a monstrous 3.1 fouls per game this year.The 6th-least up-tempo pace visiting team in the league over the last 20 games has been the Minnesota Timberwolves.The Timberwolves are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities today from squaring off against the 4th-most lethargic tempo team in the NBA this year (the Nuggets).The Minnesota Timberwolves rank as the 7th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).Rudy Gobert will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium tends to worsen player production for all stats.
