At first glance the spread between the Minnesota Timberwolves hosting the Sacramento Kings on Monday might seem a bit high. The T’Wolves are favored by -8 but then again they are 11-4 at home this season.
Then again, Sacramento is much improved on the year and have been playing better going away, posting a 9-7 record thus far.
The Timberwolves come into Monday night’s contest in a rut, having lost four in a row. Each of those contests were on the road however. Minnesota has the advantage of being back home plus plays a Kings team that is coming in on a B2B after beating the Mavs 120-113 last night in Dallas.
Sacramento Kings
Sacramento continues their resurgent year having won 6 of the last 8 games. They posted a very solid 7 point win last night over a Dallas team that was 12-3 at home prior to the defeat.

The Kings backcourt was on fire last night as both Buddy Hield and De’Aaron Fox scored 28 points.
In total five Kings players scored in double figures last night but at the same time Hield (39:13), Bogdan Bogdanovich (37:04), and Fox (33:21) logged a lot of court time. Monday will also be Sacramento’s 3rd game in four nights. That stretch includes a high paced 125-130 loss at Golden State on Friday.
The Kings have now scored 120+ in three straight games which includes a 140-131 win over these Timberwolves last Wednesday. Sacramento shot 58% in that game including going 19-38 from 3-point range. Namanja Bjelica led the way with 25 points in that high scoring affair. The O/U for Monday is ‘only’ 232.5 however.

Yes Sacramento has scored a lot of points lately on their way to a top 5 offense in the league – but they’ve also given up a ton on defense. The Kings rank 28th in opponents points/game and they’ve given up 130+ in two of the last three. How does Sacramento ramp up any defensive intensity while battling fatigue on Monday?
Minnesota Timberwolves
The T’Wolves did lose last Wednesday’s game to the Kings but they also looked pretty solid on offense in the process. Minnesota shot 53% from the field in that game and 40% from three which is usually good enough to win most contests. Andrew Wiggins and Derrick Rose combined for 45 points in that game and have a favorable matchup vs. a tired Kings back court tonight.
Karl-Anthony Towns was held to 19 points vs. the Kings in the 1st matchup but he did grab 11 boards. In the two games that were sandwiched around that Sacramento matchup Towns went for 28+ points and 11+ rebounds in each. The big man should be solid back home on Monday.

Minnesota should have the advantage in energy tonight as they are playing just their 2nd game in 5 nights. Combine that with being at home for the first time in 12 days and things are looking solid for Tom Thibodeau’s team despite the lofty line.

Free Sacramento Kings vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Prediction:
Is there another high scoring affair in the cards for Monday night. These two teams combined for 271 points when they met up 5 games ago. The Sacramento defense is definitely vulnerable in this matchup as they travel in from Dallas before returning home for a 3-game stretch vs. the Thunder, Grizzlies, and Pelicans.
