Timberwolves vs Kings: How dangerous are the Wolves?
The Minnesota Timberwolves are the biggest surprise this season in the NBA, something that the Sacramento Kings were last year. The top team in the Western Conference will visit Sacramento on Saturday night, looking for their third win in the last four games against the Kings.
How long can Minnesota stay on top in the West?
The Timberwolves are off to a great start, sitting on top of the conference with a 21-6 record. They are 9-5 on the road and have won 8 of the last 10 games. After failing to the Sixers, the Wolves bounced back with a 118-111 win over the Lakers. Anthony Edwards dropped 27 points for the second straight game and is the Wolves’ leading scorer, averaging 24.8 points per game. The Timberwolves are the best defensive team in the league, allowing only 106.9 points per game.
The Kings offense
The Sacramento Kings have the second-best offense in the Western Conference, averaging 118.3 points per game. They are fourth in the conference with a 17-10 record and 11-4 at home, winning 7 of the last 10 games overall. After a blowout 144-119 loss to the Boston Celtics, the Kings bounced back with a 120-105 win over the Phoenix Suns. Domantas Sabonis recorded a triple-double with 28 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds.
Betting Trends
The Kings are 4-1 straight up in the last five games overall and 5-1 in the last 6 home games.
How good is De’Aaron Fox this season?
The Kings point guard is having the best season of his career. Fox is sixth in the league with 30.1 points per game and 17th with 6.2 assists per game. In a recent win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, Fox scored 41 points and dropped 23 on the Suns in the last game.
Injury Reports
Vlatko Cancar is out for the Nuggets while the Nets will be without Ben Simmons, Lonnie Walker IV, and Dennis Smith Jr.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Timberwolves are having the best start in franchise history, and two months into the season, they are still on top of the conference. Many are waiting for them to drop, but that has not happened yet. The Kings are close behind them and look like a team that can beat Minnesota. De’Aaron Fox is one of the fastest players in the league, Domantas Sabonis is a double-double machine, and these two can overpower Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns.
