New York Knicks vs Minnesota Timberwolves key stats

The Knicks have had a slow start to the season, winning only four of their nine games thus far. They are currently below .500 but could improve to it with a win tonight.

The fixture list over their last five games has been very unfortunate, facing four of the best teams in the NBA and indeed losing to them. However, barring their games against the NBA giants, the Knicks have done pretty well.

In their last game against the Boston Celtics, they lost 118-133. In that game, it was a case of the Celtics playing incredibly well, rather than the Knicks tanking. Star forward duo RJ Barrett and Julius Randle performed commendably, while Jalen Brunson also chipped in with a valuable contribution.

Barrett and Randle combined for 56 of their 118 points, scoring 29 and 27 respectively. The trio of Brunson, Randle, and Barrett are all tied at the top in the scoring charts for the Knicks this season.

This goes to show how dependent the team is on the output of their three main men. They are scoring nearly 60 points between them per game, which is nearly 52% of the team’s points per game.

The T'wolves got off to a decent start but tailed off afterward. They are fresh off ending their three-game losing sstreakafter defeating the Houston Rockets 129-117.

They come into this game against the Knicks with a 5-5 record. If they lose tonight, they will naturally drop below .500.

Due to the absence of Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns reverted back to his central role and put in an incredible all-round performance. KAT put up 25 points with nine rebounds and six assists in addition to his one steal and two blocks. He was incredibly efficient on the night as well, going 64% from the field as well as 50% from deep.

New York Knicks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Best Pick:

Karl-Anthony Towns has been terrific for the T’Wolves and has been pivotal in their success. He is coming off a brilliant performance against the Rockets and there is no reason to believe he won’t do it again. He is averaging 22 points a night this season, playing from the four.

However, it is still unclear where he will start against the Knicks. What’s certain is that the NY defense won’t be able to cope with KAT.

Karl Anthony-Towns; Points: Over 25.5 (-113)

New York Knicks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Final Prediction

The T'wolves are a much stronger team as compared to the NY outfit on paper and they have been in better form lately. The New York side do not have the size to compete with the T'Wolves’ big men.

Even if there is a slim chance that they do, it unlocks the likes of Anthony Edwards and D’Lo Russell to free reign of the court. The Minnesota side should take this one comfortably.

Minnesota Timberwolves: -4.5 (-109)
