The Minnesota Timberwolves will hit the road to take on the Sacramento Kings in a game between two teams who are sitting inside the playoff picture.

The Kings have been the most surprising team in the NBA this season, and they aren’t slowing down any time soon. They’ve won five-straight games heading into tonight’s showdown with the T’Wolves.

Can they make it six-straight tonight?

Let’s take a look at the odds for the game and then I’ll give you my best bet.

Timberwolves vs. Kings odds, spread, and total

Timberwolves vs. Kings prediction and pick

The Minnesota Timberwolves rank inside the tp 10 in the NBA in defensive efficiency. Sacramento may not have those numbers, but there’s one key stat that the Kings lead the NBA in, and that’s opponent fast break points per game, giving up an average of only 11.5 per contest.

Fast break points play a big role in a total going OVER, so with it set all the way up at 237.5, I think both of these teams have any green flags on defense for me to take the UNDER.
