The Timberwolves are coming into this game with a 6-6 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 3 straight games and they have been getting blown out in these, losing their last 2 games by 8+ points. Their last 2 losses have both come against the Trail Blazers as well, one of the worst teams in the league. They have also struggled more on the road this season as they have lost 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their 6 road games this year, losing all 4 of those by 7+ points. They are going up against a Kings team that is 7-5 this season and has been playing much better in their recent games. They have won 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 games and they are coming off of a win against the Suns at home by 20+ points in their last game. They have also been playing much better at home this season as they have won 3 of their last 4 games there, winning all 3 of those games by 10+ points. They played against the Timberwolves earlier this season in their 1st game of the year and they lost that game at home by 2 points, but that was their 1st game of the season while the Timberwolves had already played a game and had a bit of an advantage there. The Kings also won 2 of the 3 meetings between these two last season and that includes a win in the NBA IST group stage so the Kings are going to be looking for some revenge from that loss at the beginning of the season and they have been playing much better as the Timberwolves struggle with their new acquisitions from the summer. The Kings will cover the spread in this game.
