The Minnesota Timberwolves face off versus the New York Knicks for the second time this season. Minnesota won the first meeting 117-100 on November 20th.
Both teams last played on Saturday with the Wolves prevailing 108-106 in a nailbiter while the Knicks fell 126-140 in a blowout to the Pacers.
Season Series
The teams played twice in 2022-23 with the teams splitting the series while the Knicks hold the all-time record between the clubs with 35 victories in 65 matches.
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Wolves start the New Year still sitting atop the Western Conference and frankly have impressed in this recent abhorrent schedule stint. I still think the Nuggets overtake them for first but, again, Minny hasn’t backed down one iota and are delivering.
This match continues the trend of Minny facing above .500 teams with their 11th in a row plus another five on tap.
Anthony Edwards continues to impress while Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns are meshing so well it’s erasing what they looked like together last season.
Timberwolves Stats
Minnesota ranks 18th on offense (113.8) and first defensively (108.1) while they are a plus +5.7 net differential, ranking fifth overall.
The Wolves are riding the middle with a 15-15-1 record against the spread through 31 matches this season.
Timberwolves Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jaylen Clark, SF (downgraded to OUT —Achilles)
New York Knicks
This should be the game where newly acquired OG Anunoby (plus Precious Achiuwa, Malachi Flynn) gets his first start in a Knicks uniform. Tom Thibodeau was probably celebrating New Years early upon learning of the deal for the 3 & D Raptors wingman.
Expect Anunoby to get massive playing time and immediately take on the best offensive opponent. Plus he’ll help spread the court given his 3-point-making ability.
The question mark will be Precious who will vacillate between quality outings and abysmal play between games (can’t wait to see how long it takes him to get in Thibs time out corner).
Knicks Stats
New York ranks 10th offensively (117.3), and 18th defensively (115.5) while their net differential is plus +1.8 which ranks in a tie for 12th in the association.
The Knicks perform in the middle ground against the spread with a 16-15-1 record through 32 contests.
Knicks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Mitchell Robinson, C (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
- Malachi Flynn, PG (OUT— ankle)
- Quentin Grimes, PG (upgraded to probable — illness)

Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. New York Knicks NBA Prediction:
Many in the Knicks fanbase were disappointed Immanuel Quickley was included in the deal taking to social media to cite their frustrations. Although they have good reason to be upset they’ll soon forget when they realize how impressive OG is defensively.
He’ll draw the assignment to guard Ant Man who he guarded when Minny played the Raptors holding him to 8 of 27. And if KAT starts rolling Thibs will have the option to shift him on Towns for a spell.
Typically I’d take the Wolves outright to win but the team arrived early and spent NYE in New York so expect a close battle.
