Minnesota Timberwolves at New York Knicks odds, picks and predictions – USA TODAY Sportsbook Wire

The Minnesota Timberwolves (21-22) travel to Madison Square Garden Tuesday to take on the New York Knicks (22-22). Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Timberwolves vs. Knicks odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Timberwolves have been rolling as of late, winning five of their last seven games. However, those wins havent been overly impressive, defeating the Thunder twice, the Rockets, Clippers and a Curry-less Warriors.

Minnesota has still covered at a solid rate, 23-20 ATS. New York, on the other hand, is 21-23 ATS. The Knicks are just 2-4 overall and ATS as home underdogs though. The Knicks have won three of their last four games.

Despite a .500 record, they do have a minus-0.5 net rating which doesnt compare favorably to the Wolves who, while under .500, have a plus-0.7 net rating.

Knicks 108, Timberwolves 104

BET on the KNICKS +122.

The Wolves rank fourth in field goal attempts and first in three-point attempts. They also average the third-most turnovers per game. They manage those numbers by ranking third in offensive rebounding rate.

With C Mitchell Robinson down low, the Knicks rank ninth in rebounding rate, so they should be able to limit Minnesota. New Yorks opponents also rank 10th in field goal attempts, so the Knicks limit how many attempts their opponents get.

Minnesota is just 10-15 versus teams above-.500. With New York limiting what the Wolves do best, I expect the Knicks to come away with the win at home.

PASS on the spread. Since I like New York, Id rather play them outright for the plus-money value.

LEAN to the UNDER 213.5 (-107).

New York has played to the Under at one of the highest rates in the NBA, and even when going against a high-paced team like Charlotte, there were still under 100 points by both sides.

The Knicks are just 18-26 O/U this season. New York ranks dead-last in pace. The Wolves are 23-20 O/U, and as noted, their chances for additional opportunities should be limited.
