The Sacramento Kings host the Minnesota Timberwolves on February 27, 2017.  This article predicts the Sacramento Kings’ box score for that contest.

The Sacramento Kings do battle against the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight.  The Kings have two victories over Minnesota this regular season with two games yet to play between the two clubs.

Last time out, the Sacramento Kings hosted the Charlotte Hornets.  The Hornets demolished Sacramento 99-85 on Saturday.  Below is a highlight video from that game in case you missed the action, but if I am a Kings’ fan, I would probably skip it and head right into the content about tonight’s game.

Without further ado, below is my Sacramento Kings’ box score prediction for the contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves on February 27, 2017.

Box Score Prediction

Minnesota Timberwolves This Season

Minnesota is a team that likes to slow the game down but plays an effective offense.  They play at the 24th fastest pace in the NBA.  In offensive rating, the Timberwolves rate 10th in the NBA.

MUST READ: DeMarcus Cousins Recent Comments Are Fair

Minnesota rates poorly on defense this season.  They check it at 23rd in defensive rating.

Evans & Hield

Despite only getting 26 minutes a game each, Tyreke Evans and Buddy Hield look to be poised to lead the Kings in scoring the rest of the season.  Both players were recently acquired in the trade that sent DeMarcus Cousins to New Orleans and they have looked good in the two games for Sacramento.  I expect that play to continue tonight and for the remainder of this season.

Summary

There you have it, my prediction of the Sacramento Kings’ box score for tonight’s game.  Please tune in and root on the Kings tonight as they have a great chance to earn victory number 26 on the season.
