Towns and Wiggins are both scorers that are very athletic and these are the 2 guys that the Kings have to key on.
Towns and C Gorgui Dieng, who was solid in the season opener with 12 points and 14 boards, have to man up on Cousins and not allow him to dominate in the paint.
The Timberwolves lost to the Grizzlies on the road and last season they were 15-26 away from the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
Sacramento Kings
Last season the Kings ranked a solid 3rd in the NBA in points per game, but ranked dead last in opponents’ points per game.
In their loss to the Spurs in their last game the Kings only shot 40% from the field and they committed 16 turnovers.
In the San Antonio loss DeMarcus Cousins had a big game going for 34 points and 16 boards, but Rudy Gay was the only other starter that scored more than 8 points with him going for 17 on 3/10 shooting.
