Overview
- Tipoff is 7:30 p.m. ET at Madison Square Garden with a national ESPN broadcast, with streaming options noted on Sling TV, Fubo, MSG, FanDuel Sports Network and NBA League Pass.
- Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards (right hamstring) was upgraded to questionable after participating in a full shootaround, having missed the last four games since his Oct. 26 strain.
- New York’s Karl-Anthony Towns was a late addition to the injury report as questionable with an illness, with his status likely determined after warmups.
- Both teams enter at 4–3 in their first meeting since last season’s Towns-for-Randle/DiVincenzo blockbuster, with recent form highlighted by Randle’s triple-double and Towns’ 33-point, 13-rebound outing.
- Betting markets list the Knicks around -5.5 with a total near 231.5, and SportsLine’s model projects the game to finish under the posted number.
