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 vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves is a difficult one; they have given up the least points per game in the NBA to the other team's starting PFs this year (14.5).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).This year when they are on the road, the other team's starting PFs have attempted 3.1 free throws per game (9th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Timberwolves, facing an uphill battle to get to the free-throw line.
