Timberwolves Looking to Win Without Edwards
The Minnesota Timberwolves are looking to continue playing well as they are coming off a 125-109 road win over the Brooklyn Nets during their most recent game. The T-Wolves shot the basketball at an incredible level as they were able to go 44-of-78 (56.4%) from the field, 14-of-35 (40.0%) from distance, and 35 trips to the free-throw line. Shooting guard Donte DiVincenzo led the offense in this game, as in 30 minutes he posted 25 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and one block. This was a game where the defense played well, as they allowed the Nets to post a team shooting split of 40.4/30.0/65.8.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are holding their own offensively as they are tied with the Orlando Magic for 15th in the league with 116.9 points per game while having a 49.8 shooting percentage, 40.2 3-point percentage, and 74.7 free-throw percentage. Their defense has been a bit better than average in the NBA, though, as they rank 11th with 115.6 points per game allowed while allowing their opponents to shoot 46.6% from the field and 34.8% from beyond the arc thus far.

Minnesota Timberwolves at New York Knicks Pick
Spread Pick for Timberwolves vs. Knicks
- New York Knicks to cover (4 units)
The ability to grab rebounds throughout the season gives a team a good chance to be successful, and there is a gap here. The Knicks are fifth in the NBA with a 53.3 total rebounding rate, while the Timberwolves are 17th with a 49.3 rebounding percentage so far. Without Anthony Edwards playing a role as he is out with an injury, the Knicks have arguably three of the top four players in the game. Go with the Knicks to cover the spread in their own building as the better bet.
Over/Under Pick for Timberwolves vs. Knicks
- UNDER (5 units)
The lack of scoring for the Timberwolves could be on display, as without Edwards on the court, this offense looks a bit different. Both sides are playing at a more methodical pace this season as Minnesota is 23rd with a 99.57 pace, while New York is 22nd with a 100.21 pace right now. The under has hit in six of the previous 10 games against one another, so go with the UNDER here as well.
