Knicks vs Timberwolves Prediction
The Knicks are going to be favored at home more times than not, but they’ve been hit or miss this season, so I’m not thrilled to lay points. It sounds like there’s a decent chance Edwards returns for the Timberwolves, and if that’s the case there’s tremendous value with the road dog. The Timberwolves have shown to be one of the best teams in the league at full strength, and they smoked the Knicks on the road back in January. Check the injury report before betting, but I want the points in this spot.
