Bet on Kings vs. Timberwolves

Minnesota will come in a little salty after letting one get away against Philly, leading much of the fourth quarter before faltering late in regulation and overtime. This could be a game where the T-Wolves put it all together against an inferior opponent that has struggled considerably on the road, going 4-11 this season. Expect Minnesota to once again ride its starters to big minutes, this time resulting in a blowout win.
