Timberwolves at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 114, Timberwolves 110

Moneyline

PASS.

Given this one could be a close battle, take the spread of the home team instead of playing the Knicks to win outright, although there's nothing wrong taking the Knicks straight up at plus money.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS +1.5 (-112).

New York has covered well at home while Minnesota hasn't covered well on the road. The Knicks are 6-5-1 ATS at home, and the Wolves are 7-9 ATS on the road.

Neither team has covered consistently as of late, but the Knicks have mainly been on the road instead of at home. The addition of F OG Anunoby should add ample defensive presence for them to shut down Edwards and company.

Expect New York to be able to tame the T-wolves and cover at home. Back KNICKS +1.5 (-112).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 223.5 (-110).

The Knicks are 18-14 O/U on the year and have gone Over in 3 of their last 4 games, allowing 122 or more in 4 of their last 5 games.

The T-wolves have gone Over in 4 of their last 7 games, tallying at least 112 in 6 of their last 9 games. They are 16-15 O/U on the season and should have ample size without Robinson playing to get 2nd-chance opportunities.

LEAN OVER 223.5 (-110).
