The Timberwolves welcome the Kings to Target Center for the NBA regular season. Minnesota has had a mixed start to the season, posting an average record of 8 wins and 9 losses after 17 games. The team is unable to regain the form that allowed it to shine last season, where it reached the conference finals in the playoffs. The unexpected departure of Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks, just before the start of the season, upset the balance of the group. This transition forced Chris Finch’s players to adapt to this major change. Which partly explains this unconvincing start to the season.
The visitors are having a complicated start to the season, posting a record of 8 wins and 10 defeats after 18 matches. This generally poor start highlights collective weaknesses, notably a lack of fluidity in the game. The integration of DeMar DeRozan, with his very atypical style, requires adjustments in the team’s automatisms. This transition period could be prolonged, as the players are still struggling to establish real cohesion. For now, the understanding between De’Aaron Fox, DeMar DeRozan and Domantas Sabonis remains to be perfected.
