Keegan Murray led the team in scoring with 21 points on 9-of-17 shooting, and Chris Duarte added 18 points off the bench. Sacramento currently ranks eighth in the NBA in offense, averaging 118.1 points per game, while the Minnesota Timberwolves boast the top-ranked defense, allowing just 106.3 points per game.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been in excellent form, winning seven of their last eight games and are now aiming for their fourth consecutive victory after defeating the Grizzlies 110-101 on Wednesday. Anthony Edwards led the team with 34 points on 11-of-21 shooting, while Naz Reid contributed 19 points off the bench. Minnesota ranks 20th in scoring in the NBA, averaging 113.6 points per game, while the Sacramento Kings rank 22nd in points allowed per game, giving up an average of 117.8 points.
