Sacramento Kings vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Minnesota Timberwolves are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they're at home, but I continue to not get the warm and fuzzy from this squad. The Timberwolves have lost 6 of their last 8 games, and now they're on the end of a back-to-back. The Sacramento Kings are racking up the losses as well, but they at least have the rest advantage, and we know what they're capable of when playing to their potential. Also, the Kings and Timberwolves went to overtime earlier this month. Give me the points.
