Timberwolves vs Kings Injury Report

The Timberwolves won’t have Donte DiVincenzo, Jesse Edwards, and Julius Randle. Naz Reid and Anthony Edwards are questionable.

The Kings will be without the newly acquired Zach LaVine.

Timberwolves vs Kings Prediction

The Kings have cooled off with losses in four of their last five games, and now they’re going to be undermanned for this one. De’Aaron Fox was just traded to the Spurs and the Kings won’t have LaVine just yet as he hasn’t been cleared to play. The Minnesota Timberwolves have won five of their last six games, and they should be eager to rebound from a brutal loss to the Wizards. Without Fox and his replacement, the Kings are in a tough spot here. The line is reasonable, assuming Edwards plays for the Timberwolves. Check the injury report before betting. I’ll still lay the number with the Timberwolves at home.
