<p>The New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves will meet at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, November 6, with the tip-off scheduled for 09:30 AEST.</p> <p>It’ll be a very intriguing contest for bettors, as the two teams are evenly matched this season. Through their first seven games across the 2025/26 NBA regular season, they both share a 4-3 record. They are both on a run of two consecutive wins, adding to the appeal of this contest.</p> <p>Still, does that mean there are inconsistencies between the two teams? Are they both struggling to put together form for a reason? We should find out more when these two meet.</p> <p>Carry on to find out our Knicks vs Timberwolves betting predictions and our thoughts about what to potentially expect when they both meet on Thursday.</p> <h2>New York Knicks vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Betting Preview</h2> <p>Given that both teams have been very evenly matched in their achievements throughout this season, there doesn’t appear to be much that separates them on paper.</p> <p>Some may point to the fact that Anthony Edwards is unavailable for a few weeks, which could hamper what the Timberwolves may achieve. However, the Knicks have had to place Mitchell Robinson on a minutes restriction when he does return.</p> <p>Still, Edwards’ absence will likely be a bigger blow due to his points-scoring abilities. He is second in their team rankings with 25.7 points; Julius Randle has an average of 27.2 per game. For the Knicks, Jalen Brunson continues to lead the way, as he has an average of 31.2 points per game. Compare that to the next best (Karl-Anthony Towns, 18.3), it’s clear that Brunson is the most important part of the Knicks’ offence.</p> <p>Still, how do the two teams fare when they play against each other? It’s been back-and-forth over the last five matches. Results have included:</p> <ul> <li>Jan 2025: Knicks 99-116 Timberwolves</li> <li>Dec 2024: Timberwolves 107-133 Knicks</li> <li>Jan 2024: Knicks 112-106 Timberwolves</li> <li>Nov 2023: Timberwolves 117-100 Knicks</li> <li>Mar 2023: Knicks 134-140 Timberwolves</li> </ul> <h2>New York Knicks vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Betting Predictions</h2> <p>With all that in mind, what are our New York Knicks vs Minnesota Timberwolves betting predictions?</p> <p>Our NBA picks are often based on player props, as we look for value in these markets.</p> <p>For this game, we recommend that <strong>Brunson scores 20+ points</strong>, having achieved this in all but one match. We also like the value in backing<strong> Towns to surpass 20+ points</strong>, as he scored 33 in his last game. He had 32 against the Timbs the last time they won.</p> <p>When examining the <strong>Over/Under for total points</strong>, we believe it will be <strong>below the 230 mark for total scored</strong>. If the line is anywhere above this, then we would back the <strong>under</strong>. The points difference in the last five games has been 215, 240, 218, 218, and 274.</p>
