Randy’s Pick
The Kings have had issues on the road this season, as it's where 5 of their 6 losses have come. The Kings will also be without one of their top players in Keegan Murray. The Minnesota Timberwolves have been one of the best teams in the league up to this point, and they have yet to lose at home. The Timberwolves have won 7 of the last 10 meetings against the Kings. I'll lay the reasonable chalk with the home team.
