Minnesota Timberwolves vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

The Minnesota Timberwolves get the benefit of the doubt because they are the better team on paper, but this line is a little crazy. We’ve seen the Timberwolves lose three games in a row, including back-to-back games against the poor Trail Blazers. Favored after that? The Sacramento Kings are a talented team that continues to be respected by oddsmakers and I just don’t get it. I can’t get behind the Timberwolves in the favorite role on the road with what we’ve seen over the last week. Give me the kings and the bucket in a game they could win outright.
