This year, the opposing team's starting PGs have averaged 39.8% on shot attempts from the field (weakest in the league) vs. the Timberwolves, designating this as a tough matchup. The Minnesota Timberwolves have played at the 7th-most sluggish pace in the league over the last 20 games in their home city, which ought to lead to fewer plays for the Pacers. The Indiana Pacers rank as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists). Over the last 15 games, the opposition's starting PGs have attempted 3.3 foul shots per game (5th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves, facing an uphill battle to get to the foul line. Tyrese Haliburton will not enjoy the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city usually worsens player production in all facets of the game.
