The Sacramento Kings ( 8 - 5 ) defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves ( 3 - 9 ) 113 - 101 on Friday . Sacramento has won two straight games . They 've had a terrific start to the season and have n't shown any signs of slowing down . While DeMarcus Cousins ' line of 31 points and 18 rebounds is no great shock due to the frequency in which he put up such amazing lines , Ben McLemore 's 22 points and nine rebounds gave McLemore the best game of his young career . Even retread Derrick Williams got in on the funk train Saturday against his former team . Williams put up 12 points and six rebounds in 30 minutes . The Kings continue their road trip against the Pelicans in New Orleans on Tuesday . Minnesota has lost two straight and seven of their last eight games . Injuries can be blamed for the depth of the Timberwolves ' struggles this season , but they were never considered a team with much of a shot at a playoff spot in the stacked Western Conference . An argument could be made that the injuries the Timberwolves continue to suffer are a blessing in disguise considering that it 's forcing the team to give their young talent run against top - flight teams . Andrew Wiggins scored a career - high 29 points in 41 minutes Saturday . Mo Williams helped Wiggins get those points . Williams finished with 11 points and 12 assists for his second double - double in the last three games . The Timberwolves have three days off before hosting the Milwuakee Bucks on Wednesday . By Wednesday 's game , the Timberwolves expect to have Thaddeus Young ( personal ) and Nikola Pekovic ( wrist ) back in the active lineup .
