Minnesota at Sacramento

Can't trust banged up and defenseless Sacramento even at home. They come off their fifth straight loss, a 117-101 defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers. Sacramento's defense crumbled in the second half, allowing the Clippers to make 54 percent of their shots after halftime. The Kings were also outscored 25-5 on the break. "I just hated our defense," Sacramento coach Mike Malone said. Hey, Mike, your team hasn't played defense all season, 24th in points allowed, 20th in field goal shooting defense, and second to last at defending the three-pointer allowing 38%. The Kings are 9-21 ATS in their last 30 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Minnesota is in town and will feast on the Sacramento defense, with the T-Wolves ranked fourth in the NBA in scoring. Corey Brewer scored 51 on Friday in a 112-110 victory over Houston. The Timberwolves are 12-3 ATS on the road against a losing home record, and when these teams meet, the road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Play Minnesota.
