The Timberwolves take the floor for the second time in 2024-25 while the Kings make their season debut tonight. Based on preseason results, Sacramento has cobwebs to shake off. Our NBA betting picks are following the money and backing Minnesota.
The Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t have quite the season opener they were hoping for on Tuesday, falling to the Los Angeles Lakers on the road, but they’ll be hopeful for a different outcome on Thursday against a much more beatable Sacramento Kings team.
It’s always hard to read too heavily into the preseason, but Sacramento stood as the fourth-worst offense during its five games and lost every one of them. I expect the better team to shine here, even if it’s on the road, and for the Timberwolves to build off a strong second half from Tuesday to get the win.I did express some doubt in DeRozan’s defensive ability above, but I do like him to score the ball on Thursday.
I also love this very generous line on Edwards to make a few triples, after he shot a ton of 3-pointers in the preseason and continued on with that trend with 13 attempts from outside against the Lakers.
