It’s a short flight from Chicago to Minneapolis, but not sure that Zach LaVine will be dressed for his first game with the Sacramento Kings (24-24) as they take on the Timberwolves (27-22) at Target Center Monday Night.
Who will be available for Sacramento tonight? No reports yet confirming when Zach LaVine will arrive and ultimately suit up and we know De’Aaron Fox and Kevin Huerter are no longer with Sacramento. The line has shifted accordingly from Minnesota -1 to Minnesota -4.5 with the Total dropping from 223 to 221.5. Check your lineup cards before making any bets for this one.
