Minnesota Timberwolves vs New York Knicks prediction

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been too consistent to bet against this season with cheap chalk, and they enter this game healthy. The Timberwolves also beat the Knicks in November by 17 points. We’ll see what the addition of OG Anunoby does for the Knicks, but there’s going to be some adjustments to be made when you trade away two key rotation players in Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett. The Knicks are coming off a rough week as it is. I’ll lay the bucket with the Timberwolves.
