Our Timberwolves vs Knicks predictions have faith in KAT knocking down a pair of triples.
Karl-Anthony Towns is one of the best shooting big men of all time, and a thumb injury won't stop him from knocking down the deep ball tonight. Half of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ return from their preseason trade with the New York Knicks will miss tonight’s trip to Madison Square Garden.
My Timberwolves vs. Knicks predictions see no path to trusting Minnesota and instead will bet on Karl-Anthony Towns before tip at 7:30 ET on Friday, January 17.Towns has had most of the week — the injury occurred Monday — to figure out his shooting motion with the injury. Listed as questionable tonight, let’s assume he plays. If he plays, adrenaline will help his shooting, but so will Towns’s natural ability. Towns has hit multiple 3-pointers in 26 of his 38 games, including four of his last five. He's shooting 44.9% from deep on 4.9 attempts per game. When Towns returned to Minnesota last month, he scored 32 points on 5 of 5 shooting from deep. Although his emotions may not be as high tonight, he will still want to show off against his old team. And as long as his thumb allows him to, Towns should take at least four or five 3-pointers. At that point, it should always be assumed he will make at least a pair of them. The thumb injury creates some risk, but if Towns intends to play through the injury, he can shoot. Otherwise, it would be best for both him and the Knicks to rest and repair the thumb.appears to be on increasingly thin ice in Minnesota, not closing as many games, not endearing himself to the fans, and his albatross of a player option is threatening the Timberwolves’ ability to retain Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Naz Reid.He is the only one making a homecoming tonight, and he is the one needing to escalate his performance on the court. Forcing the issue in a familiar venue may be just what the doctor ordered.That has been part of Minnesota’s issue this season: Conley, Randle, and Anthony Edwards are all at their best initiating the offense. Of those three, Conley is both the one most likely to take a back seat and the one most likely needed to.Take advantage of the early win payout at bet365, where any pre-game NBA moneyline bet getsThe Knicks opened as 3.5-point favorites on Thursday night, climbing to -4.5 late in the night. DiVincenzo had already been ruled out when this line opened, so as some books reached -5 on Friday, let that be further faith that Towns will play tonight. The total opened at 220.5 on Thursday night and fell overnight to 218.5 before sunrise, volleying at 217.5 only to settle at 218.5.The last four Knicks games have all gone Over their totals, as have the last three Timberwolves games.

Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame’s standing in each year’s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds. In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports’ futures markets. While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.Copyright © 1995 - 2025 CS Media Limited All Rights Reserved.
