Kings vs. Timberwolves Injury Report & Game Preview | Feb. 5, 2025

The Sacramento Kings enter a new era after trading away franchise star De’Aaron Fox, and their first test without him will be against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Kings are struggling, having lost four of their last five games, while Minnesota has been surging—winning 10 of their last 15 despite a recent loss to the Washington Wizards.

However, the Timberwolves’ injury concerns could impact Monday’s game. Anthony Edwards (illness) and Naz Reid (finger) are both questionable, while Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo are ruled out.

Can the Kings take advantage of Minnesota’s injury situation, or will the Timberwolves hold firm at home?

Kings vs. Timberwolves: Key Matchups & Preview

Kings’ First Test Without De’Aaron Fox

Sacramento moves forward without Fox, and the offense will look very different:

• Domantas Sabonis becomes the clear offensive hub, with even more playmaking duties.
• Malik Monk and Kevin Huerter will likely see increased shot attempts in the backcourt.
• The Kings will need efficient scoring from Harrison Barnes to stay competitive.

With Zach LaVine not available yet, Sacramento lacks a true go-to perimeter scorer.

Can the Timberwolves Overcome Injury Concerns?

Minnesota is dealing with injuries to key offensive players:

• If Anthony Edwards doesn’t play, the offense will rely heavily on Karl-Anthony Towns.
• Jaden McDaniels and Mike Conley will have to step up as secondary scorers.
• Naz Reid’s availability is crucial for frontcourt depth.

Minnesota still has the defensive edge, but offensive execution could be a problem if Edwards is out.

Betting Odds & Predictions

• Moneyline: Kings (+160) | Timberwolves (-185)
• Spread: Timberwolves -4.5 | Kings +4.5
• Total (O/U): 228.5

Best Bets & Player Props

✅ Domantas Sabonis Over 19.5 Points (-110)

• Without Fox, Sabonis will dominate offensive possessions.
• Timberwolves’ defense is weakened without Randle and possibly Reid.

✅ Jaden McDaniels Over 12.5 Points (-110)

• If Edwards is out, McDaniels will take on a bigger scoring role.
• Has hit this mark in 4 of his last 5 games.

❌ Anthony Edwards Over 25.5 Points (-110)

• Uncertain if he’ll even play.
• Could be limited even if active due to illness.

Final Prediction

If Anthony Edwards plays, the Timberwolves should control this game, relying on their strong defense and home-court advantage.

If Edwards is out, the Kings have a real shot at pulling off an upset, with Sabonis leading the charge.

🔮 Prediction: Timberwolves 114, Kings 109
✅ Best Bet: Kings +4.5 (if Edwards is OUT)
