I favor Sacramento on the road on Monday night. The Kings can break out of their slump tomorrow, earning a pivotal road win by attacking the Timberwolves at the rim, where they lead the league in shooting percentage (69.6%). They are a better team than Minnesota, as long as De'Aaron Fox is still on the team by tomorrow's game. Plus, the T-Wolves are coming off a dud shooting performance, especially from beyond the arc. They can be a bit too reliant on the three-ball (third in the NBA in three-point rate), which is a problem when they're inefficient from deep, as they are 23rd in two-point percentage. Minnesota is also turnover-prone (23rd in turnover percentage) and doesn't get to the free-throw line a lot (16th in FT rate).
