Command Analysis
Minnesota played the most recent match against Boston without a number of key players. Anthony Edwards, D'Angelo Russell, Karl-Anthony Towns and Jarred Vanderbilt missed the game. Everyone thought that weakened Wolves won't be able to put up a fight to the Celtics. But Finch's men managed to put up a surprise, they recorded a victory. They beat the Celtics by a 108:103 score.
Minnesota will play the next match without these players as well. In this case Wolves' head coach will probably count on Jaylen Nowell. In the previous match this player put up a great performance. In 34 minutes on the floor he scored 29 points, collected six rebounds and gave three assists.
New York managed to record a victory in the most recent game. Tom Thibodeau's men managed to get advantage out of Atlanta's problems and recorded a 101:87 victory over the Hawks. Julius Randle put up a wonderful performance for the Knicks, scoring 25 points and collecting 12 rebounds. But Kemba Walker also stood out in this game. In his strong return to the Knicks' line-up he put up a triple-double.
Despite recent victories, Knicks failed to improve their position in the standings. They are still at the 12th spot in the Eastern Conference.

Tip and bets
Minnesota won the previous match, but we are not expecting the same result today, because Knicks have their strongest squad. Some of New York role players are absent, but it won't affect team's performance. Leaders of the Timberwolves will be absent in this match. Taking that into account, we offer to place a bet on the visitors.
Our prediction - New York to win with a handicap of (-3) points
New Yorkers have big problems with their offense. Tom Thibodeau's players are too slow on the attack. In 3 out of 4 most recent matches they failed to score more than 107 points. We are not expecting a high-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total under 215,5 points
