One of the games on Wednesday's NBA slate features the New York Knicks hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves. Who has the edge in our Knicks vs Timberwolves pick?
After a three-game win streak, New York has responded with two straight victories, including a 119-102 win over the Washington Wizards on Monday.
The game was close early, as New York led by a slim 57-54 margin at the break. However, the Knicks pulled away in the third quarter, courtesy of a 41-24 burst in the third quarter. As a result, the home team coasted to a 17-point victory.
Karl-Anthony Towns put together a spectacular performance. He finished with a team-high 33 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, and two steals. OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson added 16 points each.
Following back-to-back losses to the Pacers and Lakers, the Timberwolves enter this matchup amid a two-game winning streak. This includes a 125-109 victory against the Brooklyn Nets.
Minnesota was up 91-88 through the first three quarters. And the team opened the fourth with a 6-0 run en route to outscoring its opponent by a 34-21 margin over the final 12 minutes.
Donte DiVincenzo paced the offense with 25 points, nine boards, and five assists. Jaden McDaniels added 22 points, while Julius Randle posted a triple-double that consisted of 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.
Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this contest.
The teams have split the previous 10 meetings, which means it could go either way. But if Anthony Edwards (hamstring) isn't able to suit up, the Knicks should have the edge.
