The Kings could be shorthanded here as De’Aaron Fox is listed as questionable with that hamstring injury, but the Kings have been one of the form teams of the league and I don’t think they’re going to slow down in this one.
The Minnesota Timbeolves are starting to heat up again as they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after sneaking past the Warriors in a 99-96 road win last night, which could lead to a flat performance here. Minnesota appears to be a candidate to have some offensive regression as not only are they a below average outside shooting unit, but they are generating free-throws at a rate below the NBA average.
Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings have been in fine form as they’ve won eight of their last 11 games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after outlasting the Jazz in a 121-113 home win on Saturday. The Sacramento Kings play their best ball at home, but they also win in the favorite role by an average of 6.3 points while shooting 51.1 percent from the field.
