I don't trust the Kings to cover the spread on the road, but they should win outright as Minnesota is expected to be without four key guys in Malik Beasley (19.6 ppg), D'Angelo Russell (19.3 ppg), Jaylen Nowell (9.9 ppg) and Ricky Rubio (8.3 ppg, 6.9 apg). It's April 5 and somehow this is the first meeting of the season between the teams. The Kings have won the past two.

Several key players will be out for the Timberwolves in Monday’s matchup against the Kings. This has increased the spread offering on a Minnesota team that has won two of its last three home games. Look for Sacramento’s inconsistency on road trips to be a big factor here. Play the Timberwolves.
