New York Knicks: news and form
The Knicks are having a complicated season: after an excellent start, during which they were firmly established in the top 8, Tom Thibodeau’s players have plummeted in the standings and are now only 11th with 22 wins and 22 losses on the clock, far from their ambitions. Weighed down by an attack at half mast, while with an average of 104.2 points scored per game the Knicks are the 4th worst offensive force in the league, the New York team is much more comfortable on its side of the floor and is thus the 5th defense in the NBA with 104.5 points conceded per game.
Knicks: players to watch
Julius Randle is, as expected, the true leader of the Knicks this season and it shows in all sectors, while with 19.1 points, 10.1 rebounds and 5 assists on average, he is the best performer on his team. in the 3 registers. The American power winger is supported by RJ Barrett, who has 16.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists this season and has been in fine form recently with 22.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3 assists on his last 10 matches.
Minnesota Timberwolves: news and form
The Timberwolves are having a mixed season: currently 9th in the Western Conference with 21 wins and 22 losses, the Minnesota team has been very irregular since the opening of the NBA and is therefore logically on the verge of the playoffs. 11th attack in the NBA with 110.1 points scored on average per game, Chris Finch’s players will want to be reassured on the defensive level, they who collect 109.1 points per game this season.
Timberwolves: players to follow
This season we have witnessed the emergence of Anthony Edwards: the American winger has indeed performed well and averages 22.2 points per game, to which are added 5.2 rebounds and 3, 7 assists. However, it is far from the only reason why Minnesota remains afloat: Karl-Anthony Towns is also in good form with 24.6 points and 9.3 rebounds on average, as is D’Angelo Russel, who compiles 18, 6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists in 33 games.

New York looks in bad shape and far inferior to its opponent. If the Timberwolves have not been flamboyant recently either, they should however manage to take the upper hand over a New York team that is uncomfortable at home this season.

Both players carry the Timberwolves this season and should once again lead them to victory. Seeing Edwards and Towns both register at least 20 points would thus seem logical.
