What You Need to Know
Before their game on Monday, the Sacramento Kings need to improve their defense, which gives up 118.54 points per game. They are back at home and will play the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 27 at 10 p.m. ET at Golden 1 Center. If the game is anything like their March win over them by a score of 138–134, the scorekeeper will have a lot to do.
This past Saturday, the Kings beat the Utah Jazz 121–113. Kevin Huerter, a shooting guard, had 27 points and seven rebounds, which is a big reason why Sacramento did so well.
Also, the Golden State Warriors usually know what to do at home, but the Timberwolves were too tough for them on Sunday. In a very close game, Minnesota beat the Dubs 99–96. Minnesota’s success was led by small forward Kyle Anderson, who had 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists, and center Naz Reid, who scored 23 points and grabbed six rebounds.
Sacramento should easily win this, but they also lost to the Charlotte Hornets on December 19 and should have won that game easily too (125–119). That is, don’t give up on Minnesota yet.
