Kings vs Timberwolves NBA Preview, Predictions
I'm taking the over in Kings-Timberwolves tonight, as I make this total 243 points.
The Wolves' defense is sneaky and not as awesome as it should be early this season.
They've been a little crazy, so I don't want any part of the spread at all.
The Kings are the third-best road over team, while the Wolves are the fifth-best home over team. Guide those two factors going against one another.
Minnesota actually ranks third in half-court offense.
Meanwhile, Sacramento ranks 28th in half-court defense. So, the Wolves should put up a big number here.
If you want to just play the Wolves team total over, that's fine.
Here's a trend: 68 out of 110 favorites have gone over their team total when winning, so it is not a particularly large margin in NBA Cup play.
This is not what you would think, given the scoring totals that we've recently seen, but on the combined total, I still think this is a light number, so I'll take the over.
Kings vs Timberwolves Best Bet
- Over 240.5 (-108, DraftKings)
