Timberwolves vs Knicks Prediction, Picks & Player Props (3/20)

The Minnesota Timberwolves roll into Madison Square Garden to take on Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle and the New York Knicks in a battle of two cross conference teams fighting for their place in the NBA playoffs.

Both of these teams are fighting for different reasons; the Knicks to stay out of the play-in games in the East and the Timberwolves to stay in the play-in games in the West.

Prediction

Both of these teams need to put up a big performance in Madison Square Garden tonight to keep a firm grasp on their playoff chances.

The Knicks are currently 5th in the East, 2.5 games back from the 4th place Cavaliers and a comfortable 2.5 games ahead of the 6th place Nets.

New York has won 7 of their last 10 games and are on a 3 game winning streak coming into this game.

Jalen Brunson returned last game after a short stint out of the lineup with a foot injury and helped lead the Knicks to a big win at home against the top seed Nuggets.

Brunson and Co. will have a chance to make it 4 in a row tonight against the Wolves, who are going to likely be without their superstar Anthony Edwards again but need to keep winning to stay alive.

Monday night at MSG.

Ant is questionable as of this writing so it is worth monitoring if the star guard will be able to give his sprained ankle a go tonight but I wouldn’t count on it.

Rather than going with a side in this one, as I would lean with the Wolves to cover the spread, I feel much better about taking the over in this matchup.

The Wolves have gone over in 4 of their last 5 games overall and the Knicks, while only going over in 1 of their last 5, have the scoring capabilities to take advantage of this Wolves team that plays sub-par defense.

The one matchup this season in October squeaked over and I think this one tonight has a chance to soar.

Player Prop of the Game

Josh Hart o6.5 Rebounds (-145) Bovada

I love this prop.

Hart has been fantastic since coming over from Portland before the end of the trade deadline.

He has been scoring, facilitating and rebounding like crazy and playing substantial minutes for the Knicks and that will continue tonight.

Hart has 7+ rebounds in 7 straight games and I expect him to be all over the place yet again tonight.

For the nice value, I love the 8+ rebounds as a look if -145 is a bit too juiced for your liking.

Hart has 8+ rebounds in 7 straight games as well. For the plus money, it’s tough to beat.

Bonus: Josh Hart 8+ Rebounds (+115) BetOnline
