Timberwolves vs. Kings Prediction & Pick

Minnesota relied on it long-range shooting abilities to win on Saturday as it shot 17-of-37 (45.9%) from beyond the arc. Sacramento only drained nine three-pointers and was out-rebounded 44-36. It was more of the same for a Kings team that has struggled in both of those departament this season.

Sacramento ranks 19th in opponent three-point shooting percentage (36.2%) and 24th in total rebounds per game (49.8). Even without Karl-Anthony Towns healthy and playing, the Timberwolves continue to lean on their size to create space for open jump shots and corral physically tough boards.

Minnesota has won nine of its last 10 home games, so give me the Timberwolves on Monday night.

Final Score Prediction: Timberwolves: 119 | Kings: 114

Timberwolves vs. Kings Best Bet

This matchup ended with 227 total points on Saturday despite the two sides combing for 57 free throw attempts and shooting 48.7% from the floor. It was a back-and-forth contest that forced both teams to slow down their approach on offense by taking the shot clock all the way down to the end.

There's little reason to think that will change tonight. The total has hit the under in five of the Kings' last six games overall as well as in 12 of their last 15 away games. The under has also cashed in four of the Timberwolves' last five games overall, so trust the trends by backing a low-scoring outcome.

Bet: Under 237.5 Points (-110)
