Sacramento at Minnesota

Sacramento can score and rebound - two big weaknesses for Minnesota. Sacramento is #13 in the NBA in scoring (101.9 points per game) and #8 in rebounding behind DeMarcus Cousins. The Kings are 5-1 ATS on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. That offense will do well against a terrible Minnesota team ranked #21 in points scored, #23 in rebounding and #29 in points allowed. The Timberwolves managed only one win in December and are on a 7-18-1 ATS run. The Timberwolves own the league's second-worst scoring defense (108.7 points per game), ahead of only the Los Angeles Lakers. Their 100-94 loss at Utah on Tuesday was their ninth straight and 15th in 16 games. Ricky Rubio (ankle), Nikola Pekovic (ankle) and Kevin Martin (wrist) remain sidelined with injury, leaving the bulk of the scoring to rookie Andrew Wiggins and second-year guard Shabazz Muhammad. The Timberwolves are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games. When these teams last met Cousins had 31 points and 18 rebounds in the Kings' 113-101 win at Minnesota in November. The Kings are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings, the road team is 6-1 ATS and the Kings are 4-1 ATS here in Minnesota. Play on Sacramento.
