What to Know
The Minnesota Timberwolves will be playing in front of their home fans against the Sacramento Kings at 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday at Target Center. The Timberwolves will be looking to keep their seven-game home win streak alive.
Even though the Timberwolves have not done well against the 76ers recently (they were 2-8 in their previous ten matchups), they didn't let the past get in their way on Wednesday. Minnesota came out on top against Philadelphia by a score of 112-99. Winning is a bit easier when your three-point shooting is a whole 16.6% better than the opposition, as the Timberwolves' was.
Among those leading the charge was Anthony Edwards, who scored 31 points along with 6 assists and 6 rebounds.
Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored the Kings on Wednesday, but the final result did not. They fell to New Orleans 117-112. The Kings have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the most dominant came from Domantas Sabonis, who scored 23 points along with 9 rebounds and 6 assists.
Minnesota's victory lifted them to 11-3 while Philadelphia's loss dropped them down to 10-5.
Going forward, the Timberwolves are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 4.5 points. They might be worth a quick bet since they're sitting on a seven game streak of covering the spread when playing at home.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Timberwolves haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 13.9 turnovers per game. However, it's not like the Kings struggle in that department as they've been averaging only 13.4 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
