The Knicks have had a brutal schedule. They went just 1-4 over their last five games, which came against the Bucks, Cavaliers, Hawks, 76ers and Celtics. While the Timberwolves can also be a tough foe, they are compromised up front with Rudy Gobert (COVID-19 protocols) out. With him out Saturday, they allowed 117 points in a win over the Rockets. The Knicks are a significantly better defensive team than the Rockets, and they have more offensive firepower this season with Jalen Brunson in the fold, so I like their chances of covering.
