The Timberwolves play their fourth consecutive game away from Target Center on Monday, a trip to Madison Square Garden coming off three games in the previous seven days. Six names — Ayo Dosunmu, Jonathan Kuminga, Jaden McDaniels, LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert — carry day-to-day rest designations tied to today's date, with no word yet on who actually sits.
A Crowded Report
Minnesota is on one day of rest after three preseason games in the last week; New York has had three days off and played just once in that span. That gap frames the six rest designations attached to Dosunmu, Kuminga, McDaniels, Ball, Edwards and Gobert, all dated today. The Knicks carry their own day-to-day list — Kevin McCullar Jr., Tony Bradley, Ochai Agbaji and Drew Eubanks, each a coach's decision. Neither team has said who sits.
Three Games Down
The preseason log reads 2-1: a 116-97 win at Milwaukee on October 5, a 112-123 loss at Indiana on October 7, then a 125-124 win at Miami on October 10, where Bones Hyland scored 23 and Zyon Pullin added 22. After New York, the slate turns to Detroit on October 14 and Chicago on October 16 before the regular-season opener October 21 at Miami.
Towns, Across the Floor
Karl-Anthony Towns, dealt out of Minnesota before last season, is on the other bench after averaging 20.1 points and 11.9 rebounds for a Knicks team that went 53-29. Jalen Brunson led that roster at 26.0 points a game. New York's net rating of 6.4 last season ranked well ahead of Minnesota's 3.1, a gap this preseason meeting won't settle.
Is Anthony Edwards playing tonight against the Knicks?
He carries a day-to-day rest designation dated October 12, and no decision on tonight's lineup has been reported.
What is Minnesota's preseason record heading into the Knicks game?
The Timberwolves are 2-1, with wins over Milwaukee and Miami and a loss at Indiana.
