Timberwolves vs. Knicks Prediction, Odds and Best NBA Prop Bets for Wednesday, Nov. 5

The New York Knicks and the Minnesota Timberwolves will meet for the first time in the 2025-26 NBA season on Wednesday. This matchup brings together two teams deeply connected by a blockbuster trade before the 2024-25 season.

The Timberwolves, featuring Karl-Anthony Towns and Julius Randle, come off a victory against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night. Despite missing Anthony Edwards due to a hamstring injury, Minnesota has won two consecutive games and aims to return to the Western Conference Finals for the third straight season. Edwards’ status has now been upgraded to questionable ahead of Wednesday’s game.

The Knicks, who reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season, currently hold a 4-3 record and have won their last four home games. They recently defeated the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards in consecutive games on Sunday and Monday. New York enters Wednesday’s matchup as the home favorite.
