Analysis: While the Sacramento Kings come into this season-ending contest riding a pitiful nine-game losing streak, they have managed to cover the spread in three consecutive games against the Timberwolves and should at least be able to do the same tonight against a team that isn’t much better than they are.
Take the Kings and the points BetOnline NBA online betting fanatics. I also like the Over in this contest with it having played out in two straight and four of the last five meetings between these ballclubs.
