The Minnesota Timberwolves (4-3) head to Madison Square Garden to meet the New York Knicks (4-3) on Wednesday night. Both teams enter the matchup with identical records, making this an exciting early-season contest.
The Timberwolves have shown uneven form to start the season, averaging 116.9 points per game (15th in the NBA) while allowing 115.6 points (13th). Their performance has been affected by Anthony Edwards’ hamstring injury, though the team has managed to secure back-to-back road victories over the Charlotte Hornets and Brooklyn Nets.
