New York Knicks
The Knicks got a much needed win two games back against the Philadelphia 76ers, 106-104, but that win was a single victory in the middle of now four other losses.
The Knicks enter this contest scoring 114.4 points per contest. That number puts them in the No. 13 spot as of this writing on Sunday, just about 10 percent of the way through the season.

Quentin Grimes is listed as questionable for Monday’s contest as of this writing.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Minnesota’s convincing win over the weekend was one that felt necessary during the early part of the 2022-23 season coming off of three straight losses. Or at least, a loss would’ve felt much worse against the then-1-8 Rockets.
The Timberwolves enter this contest scoring 114.4 points per contest. That number puts them in a tie for the No. 13 spot with the Knicks just about 10 percent of the way through the year.

Free New York Knicks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Prediction:
Rudy Gobert’s absence is big here but as much as the ‘Wolves need him long-term, it’s difficult to trust the Knicks right now.
Even against a shorthanded opponent, New York on the road would be lucky to keep this one within five.
I’m picking the Timberwolves, and I think they get it done in convincing fashion.
