Minnesota Timberwolves vs New York Knicks Prediction
The Timberwolves could be shorthanded again as they have Anthony Edwards listed as questionable, while the Knicks are keeping an eye on Mitchell Robinson who is day to day. This has been a close matchup with each team winning five of the last 10 meetings so the Timberwolves are certainly tempting as underdogs in this spot. Both teams are coming into this contest looking for a third straight win, but the Knicks are deserved favorites at home given the injury cloud still hanging over the Timberwolves’ Edwards. The line could shift before tipoff but as it stands I like a play on the Knicks to get the win and cover at the modest line at home.
