Minnesota has the NBA's biggest hackers!

LaMelo Ball leads the league with 41 personal fouls through 10 games, while teammate Jaden McDaniels is right behind him with 36.

That's 77 combined fouls in just 10 games.

Is Minnesota playing aggressive defense or fouling too much?

Ron Holland is heating up from 3! 🔥

Last 3 games:
• 6/12 from deep (50%)
• Best 3-game stretch of his career

A career 25% 3PT shooter, a Detroit team ranked 7th in 3PT% after finishing 17th last season.

Could improved shooting from Holland take Detroit to another level?

@UofBasketball Walter is making a serious case for more minutes, even when Kawhi returns. Shooting 40% on nearly 7 attempts a game is impressive, but his defensive versatility is just as valuable. That 6'10 wingspan makes him a problem in passing lanes and on shot contests.

@TheDunkCentral You have to remember Lendeborg is an older rookie, so expectations are naturally going to be higher. 21.8 PPG and 9.3 RPG is impressive, but the 59.1% true shooting is the number to watch. Can he improve his scoring efficiency as defenses adjust to him?
