MATCHUP OF THE GAME

Two of the best big men in the league, not exactly going head to head, but if one gets going, that could change the course of the game for their team. Love is a threat all the way out to the three point line and with his passing, but Cousins is stronger in the post and a better defender. Cousins also has the benefit of a day of rest and hopefully something to prove.

3 THINGS

3. The Wolves are actually a solid defensive team, but they're one of the worst shot blocking teams in the league. Their defense is all about forcing turnovers and bad shots, but if you can attack the rim consistently, you can score on them. The Kings are blessed with multiple guys that can do that.

START FOUR

We'll announce the winner of the Start Four contest soon, thanks for playing.
