Tari Eason has committed 2.4 personal fouls per game this year, ranking him as one of the most foul-prone players in the league (83rd percentile).In regard to 3-point shots, the Rockets's poor 34.0% rate of sunk threes comes in as the 3rd-weakest in the NBA this year.The matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves is a hard one for shots from behind the three-point arc; opposing starting PFs have averaged the 3rd-least three attempts per game in the league this year (3.6).The Houston Rockets are expected to suffer a reduction in plays today from squaring off against the 4th-most sluggish pace home team in the league over the last 15 games (the Timberwolves).Tari Eason will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing on the road usually worsens player performance in all stat categories.
