Timberwolves vs Kings Prediction
The Kings could be missing some players here with Malik Monk and Domantas Sabonis both listed as questionable for this one, while the Timberwolves are still only missing Terrence Shannon Jr.
These two squads last met on Sunday, and it was the Timberwolves who romped to a 144-117 win. The Kings will be out for revenge in this one, but their starting lineup has been so poor this season that I don’t see them troubling this red-hot Timberwolves squad. They should be well-rested, as they haven’t played since Monday. The line seems hefty, but not enough to sway me from backing this Timberwolves team to take advantage of a struggling Kings squad.
