Perhaps one of the biggest surprises of the 2018-19 NBA season is the Sacramento Kings being a playoff contender. Heading into tonight’s matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Sacramento is three games above .500 and one game out of the eighth seed.
Minnesota finds itself three games under .500 and four games out of the eighth seed, falling further and further behind with each loss.
Any game the Wolves have against the Clippers, Lakers, and Kings — the three teams keeping them from making the playoffs — matter from here on out.
What could make the difference in this one?
