KEY GAME INFORMATION

MINNESOTA: They've found some depth at the point, meaning Ricky Rubio's minutes can be scaled back. He missed 60 games with an ankle injury last year, and he has missed at least 20 in three of his four seasons . . . Minnesota will surely shop veteran scorer Kevin Martin as the year goes on, but he's likely the top scorer in Minnesota as long as he stays in town . . . Zach LaVine showed flashes of being more than a super-athletic dunk artist last season, holding his own at the point for stretches after Rubio went down. He'll assume a combo guard role off the bench this year and is still a work in progress . . . A lack of size and athleticism will make it an uphill battle for local hero Tyus Jones, despite his success in last year's trainwreck of a Final Four. Last year was quite encouraging for Andrew Wiggins, who scored effectively by getting to the line frequently. Now he needs to add a jumper . . . Kevin Garnett said he'll start but be limited to 20 or so minutes per night as he assumes a player/coach role . . . They got a nice addition in 2015 Euroleague MVP Nemanja Bjelica, a skilled power forward who should help the offense run more smoothly . . . Shabazz Muhammad might be able to establish himself as a high-scoring sixth man . . . Minnesota took a flier on Adreian Payne, who struggled as a rookie but has size and decent shooting touch . . . Damjan Rudez gives them a veteran spot-up shooter off the bench . . . Anthony Bennett has shown no signs of being anything better than a dumpster fire . . . Karl-Anthony Towns is the rare rebounder and rim-protector who can also step away from the basket and stretch the floor on the offensive end. His longterm upside is huge . . . Gorgui Dieng gives them a solid defensive presence and a decent mid-range jumper, but might have a tough time meshing with Towns . . . Nikola Pekovic is still a beast on the offensive boards but can't stay healthy. He's trade bait.

SACRAMENTO: Rajon Rondo gets new life in Sacto. He was a disaster in Dallas, where his inability to make a jumpshot led to sagging defenses clogging the paint and stifling the Mavs. There's a real chance his skill set no longer fits in today's NBA . . . Ben McLemore's three-point shooting will be key for this team, as opponents will already have an extra defender in the paint because of Rondo. McLemore's shooting gives them a chance to open up room for DeMarcus Cousins to operate . . . The arrival of Rondo sends Darren Collison back to the bench. Though he'll likely play some 2 alongside Rondo as well . . . Marco Belinelli is a heady passer who brings more much-needed shooting to the lineup . . . After an unimpressive first stint in the NBA, James Anderson returns to the league after a one-year run in Lithuania. He has never quite become a complete player, but Rudy Gay should continue to thrive working off of DeMarcus Cousins. He'll have his share of wide-open threes and driving lanes. Gay will also see extended minutes as a stretch 4 . . . Omri Casspi had a solid bounbeback season in his return to Sacramento. He brings some defensive versatility off the bench, and shot the ball much better last season . . . Veteran wing Caron Butler is part of the Kings' attempt to surround Cousins with shooters. At this point in his career, he brings little more than the ability to spot up in the corner . . . Quincy Acy returns to Sacramento as an athletic big with little offensive upside. He's essentially a 12th man. DeMarcus Cousins lived up to his immense potential for most of last season, but he and Karl are a volatile mix . . . Uniquely athletic, Willie Cauley-Stein will take some of the defensive burden off Cousins as a possible starting 4. He's a non-factor offensively . . . Kosta Koufos is a nice addition as a quality second-unit center.

PREVIEW

Timberwolves-Kings Preview

Nobody is playing at a faster pace than the Sacramento Kings, who are finally seeing some positive results.

No team is getting more from players age 20 and younger than the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are also showing improvement.

The Kings may be without DeMarcus Cousins on Friday night when they try to stretch their home win streak to four, while the Timberwolves are in search of their first three-game overall run.

Sacramento (6-10) averages an NBA-best 102.8 possessions per 48 minutes and likes to get the ball to Cousins, who is helping the club average a league-leading 48.4 points in the paint.

Cousins, who is putting up team highs of 27.9 points and 11.2 rebounds per game, sat out Wednesday's 129-118 victory at Milwaukee with a strained lower back. The Kings had lost all five previous games that Cousins missed.

Without him, Sacramento capped a 2-3 trip by shooting 57.1 percent for its best mark in two seasons to bounce back from Monday's 127-122 overtime loss to Charlotte.

"We had a pretty damn good trip," coach George Karl said. "We lost three games but in all three games, we were in the game and could have played better in certain situations. I just thought the last two games we played some of the best basketball of the year."

Rudy Gay has totaled 64 points in the last two for the Kings, who are seeking their first four-game home win streak since Dec. 19-30, 2012.

"You go out there and desperately need a win so I had to do whatever I could to get it," Gay said after scoring a season-high 36 on Wednesday.

Minnesota (7-8) can win three straight for the first time since Feb. 4-8. The Timberwolves knocked off Atlanta 99-95 at home Wednesday to sweep the season series.

Andrew Wiggins averages 21.8 points, rookie Karl-Anthony Towns 14.7 and Zach LaVine 14.1 for Minnesota, which is getting an average of 49.1 points from players 20 or younger. No other team is getting more than 24.4 game from players that young.

"Every game we're getting better, we're growing, the chemistry is getting better each day so it's great," Wiggins said.

Minnesota point guard Ricky Rubio is questionable after he left Wednesday's game when he re-injured the ankle he had surgery on in the offseason.

"You start wondering why, putting in all the work I've been putting in," Rubio said. "But some things you can't control. I don't want to be worried. I just want to work hard and be ready for the next game."

Rubio averages 8.5 assists to rank third in the NBA and would match up with Rajon Rondo, who averages a league-best 10.9. Rondo, averaging a league-high 79.4 passes, is averaging 14.0 assists in his last 10 games with 33 in the last two.

The Timberwolves' 5-2 road record is second in the league to Golden State's 7-0 mark.

Sacramento won all three meetings last season. Gay averaged 22.7 points on 51.2 percent shooting with a 33-point effort in a 116-111 home win April 7 that Cousins missed.
