The New York Knicks (20-8) visit the Minnesota Timberwolves (19-10) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Tuesday, December 23, at the Target Center.

The Timberwolves defend home court after a 103-100 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Minnesota has now won nine of its last 11 games, and it got the job done with timely shot-making late.

Anthony Edwards, who is averaging 28.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.9 assists so far, led the Timberwolves with 24 points in that win. Rudy Gobert added 18 points.

The Wolves have been playing great on both ends of the floor, ranking within the Top 10 in both offensive and defensive rating. It also helps that they're relatively healthier when compared to most teams in the league, although Jaden McDaniels is currently listed as GTD on Tuesday.

As for the Knicks, they’re coming off a 132-125 win over the Miami Heat on Sunday, powered by Jalen Brunson’s season-high 47 points. It was a close game throughout, and the Knicks made crucial defensive stops down the stretch.

However, the issue is that Brunson is listed as out for this one, along with OG Anunoby, Miles McBride, Landy Shamet, and Guerschon Yabusele.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs New York Knicks Prediction

New York is riding a big offensive night from Sunday, but taking Brunson out of the lineup is a massive shift in how the Knicks create shots. It doesn't help that they're facing a healthier Timbewolves squad that have won nine of their last 11 games.

With Anthony Edwards driving the offense, the Wolves are arguably in their best form this season. Our prediction for the Minnesota Timberwolves vs New York Knicks match is: Timberwolves (-6.5) cover the spread.
