Key Factors

Favors Over

Stephen Curry has attempted 16.2 shots from the field per game this year, putting him in the 91st percentile among all players in the league.
Stephen Curry has failed to make 5.9 attempts from downtown per game this season, quite a bit less than his 7.0 rate last season.
Stephen Curry has played 30.2 minutes per game on the road this year, ranking him in the 75th percentile -- putting him among the most-used players in the league.
Stephen Curry has been called for 1.1 personal fouls per game away from his home court this year, ranking him in the 21st percentile -- among the league's least foul-prone.
The 6th-fastest tempo offense in the league over the last 20 games has been the Warriors.

Favors Under

When it comes to shots from downtown, the Golden State Warriors's lackluster 32.7% rate of sunk threes as the away team comes in as the 8th-fewest in the NBA over the last 5 games.
This year, the other team's starting PGs have averaged 39.8% on field goal attempts (worst in the league) vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves, identifying this as a difficult matchup.
The Warriors are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities today from squaring off against the 6th-slowest pace-of-play team in the league over the last 15 games (the Minnesota Timberwolves).
The matchup vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves may be a hard one for getting to the charity stripe; the opposing team's starting PGs have attempted a measly 3.3 free throws per game over the last 15 games (5th-least in the NBA).
Stephen Curry will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing on the road usually worsens player performance in all facets of the game.
