Minnesota Timberwolves vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

The Minnesota Timberwolves are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re the better team on paper, but this line is a bit nuts. We’ve seen the Timberwolves lose three straight games, including back-to-back games against the poor Trail Blazers. Favored after that? The Sacramento Kings are a talented team that continues to get disrespected by oddsmakers, and I just don’t get it. I can’t get behind the Timberwolves in the road favorite role with what we’ve seen over the last week. Give me the Kings and the bucket in a game they could win outright.
