These successes allowed the "wolves" to retain sixth place in the West. The team currently has 14 won matches. Incidentally, Denver has the same number, but it is inferior to the "nuggets" in additional indicators.

Out: Joe Ingles.

1.72Tip and bets
The Knicks have been inconsistent lately, so we doubt their potential for success. Not in their favor is the fact that the Knicks have been unsuccessful in Minneapolis. All this makes us pay attention to the success of the Timberwolves.
Our prediction is Minnesota with a handicap of (-2.5) points at 1.88

The Knicks have been scoring around 110 points on a regular basis lately, so we expect the game against Minnesota to be a big one.
Forecast - total over 212.5 points for 1.77
Bet on statistics
Brunson has scored fewer than 28 points in 3 of his last 5 games. It likely that New York leader won't be able to do any better this time.
