Minnesota @ Denver picks

Anthony Edwards has tallied 2.4 personal fouls per game this year, ranking him as one of the highest-fouling players in the NBA (79th percentile). The matchup against Denver is a hard one; when the Nuggets have the home court advantage, they have allowed the 14th-least points per game in the NBA to the other team's starting SGs this year (13.9). The Minnesota Timberwolves have played at the 5th-least up-tempo pace in the league over the last 5 games. The Nuggets have played at the 2nd-slowest pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games at home, which should lead to fewer plays for the Timberwolves. The Minnesota Timberwolves have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games while playing on the road (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).
