The Wolves have struggled mightily over the past couple of weeks, losing eight of their past nine contests. Friday, they will face off with another sub-.500 squad in the Sacramento Kings, who are currently on a three-game winning streak.
The Kings have had an odd season, to say the least. Their superstar center DeMarcus Cousins has been at odds with head coach George Karl and most recently, point guard Rajon Rondo was suspended for yelling a gay slur at an official. He served his one-game suspension on Tuesday, and will be available to play on Friday against Minnesota.
