MATCHUP OF THE GAME

3 THINGS

1. The Timberwolves are better than their record indicates. According to their Expected Wins-Losses (which goes off of Point Differential) the Wolves should be 24-13. Instead they're 18-19, losing many close games. They have the 5th best offense in the NBA and the 9th best defense. Considering that they're fighting for a playoff spot, every game is meaningful for them and they're going to come out strong.

2. Unlike the Pacers, the Wolves want to push the pace and get out in transition. They're 2nd in the league in Pace and first in overall field goal attempts. The Kings are slightly above average in those areas but it'd behoove them to keep the Wolves from running all game.
