The Timberwolves have looked really good in their games this season with their 11-3 record overall and they have also been really good in their home games, going 7-0 at home this year. They have also been really hot during this homestand as they enter this game with 3 wins in a row. The Kings have also looked good this season with their 8-6 record overall but they have lost 2 games in a row now and haven't been playing well lately. They have also struggled in their road games this season with their 4-5 road record. The Timberwolves have been rolling teams at home lately, coming off a win against the 76ers in their last game, and they will be able to take advantage of the Kings on this road trip while they haven't been playing well. The best way to place a bet here is on the Timberwolves to cover the spread in this game.

“Their length and athleticism bothered us and Zion was a load. Our guys showed a little bit of fight, and you like that, and hopefully we can bottle that up going forward.” - Mike Brown after his team’s loss against the Pelicans in their game on Wednesday.

“I thought it was a real good professional effort. Fortunately, Ant hit enough big, tough shots to kind of keep them at bay, so they could never really get a run together. We were able to always re-focus, have one more push in us, which was good.” - Chris Finch after his team’s win against the 76ers in their game on Wednesday.
