Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Preview

The Minnesota Timberwolves are averaging 103 points on 41.2 percent shooting and allowing 110 points on 44.2 percent shooting. Anthony Edwards is averaging 27 points and 6 rebounds, while Julius Randle is averaging 16 points and 4 assists.

Sacramento Kings Betting Preview
The Kings play the Lakers, Trail Blazers, and Jazz next. The Sacramento Kings won 46 games last season and enter the third year under coach Mike Brown. The Kings have made the playoffs just once since the 2006-07 season.
The Kings made a splashy move by adding DeMar DeRozan, and that gives them another scoring option. Domantas Sabonis is one of the more underrated centers in the league, and De’Aaron Fox has established himself as an All-Star caliber point guard. Keegan Murray has shown some things in his first two seasons, and Keon Ellis is posed for a breakthrough season. A full year of Kevin Huerter wouldn’t hurt either. The Kings have enough to make a rare playoff spot and could win a round or two if things break well. The fans have to be desperate at this point.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Kings are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, where they’ve played great ball over the years. The Kings have also improved from a season ago and should be eager to get off to a strong start. However, the Timberwolves have the privilege of getting a game under their belt and if they’re going to be contenders in the West again you’re not going to get them in the underdog role often. The Timberwolves are also 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as an underdog. Give me the free bucket based on the value.
