2024-25 season series: Split 1-1
The Timberwolves beat the Brooklyn Nets 125-109 Monday, covering as 9.5-point favorites with the Over (226) cashing. G Donte DiVincenzo tallied a team-high 25 points as star G Anthony Edwards was ruled out. Minnesota is riding a 2-game winning streak and has covered in both of those victories after starting the season 0-5 against the spread (ATS).
The Knicks defeated the Washington Wizards 119-102 Monday, covering as 13-point favorites. The Under (234) hit. Seven players scored in double figures, with C Karl-Anthony Towns leading the way with 33 points on 12-for-24 shooting. Towns (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday. New York started the season 2-0, then dropped 3 straight before getting back to its winning ways with 2 consecutive victories. The Knicks have covered in every win and failed to do so in every loss, going 4-3 ATS through 7 games.
This will be another chapter of Towns — if he plays — and F Julius Randle facing the teams that traded them in October 2024.
