The Knicks will take on the Timberwolves at Madison Square Garden on Friday.<\/p>\n
If this game goes anything like the last time these two teams squared off, it\u2019s going to be a long night for All-Star big man Rudy Gobert.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Dec. 19, when the Knicks traveled to Minnesota, Gobert was essentially played off the court, logging just 22 minutes \u2013 his fewest this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gobert made just one basket and added a free throw, scoring just three points, his second-fewest of the season, with four rebounds.<\/p>\n
The Knicks completely blew out the Wolves in that game, 133-107, with Gobert putting up a team-worst -37.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks\u2019 wing-heavy lineup provide a terrible match-up for Gobert, with the ability across the rotation to take the heavy-footed big man off the dribble.<\/p>\n

Knicks vs. Timberwolves prediction<\/p>\n
Even if KAT, who missed Wednesday\u2019s game with a thumb injury, can\u2019t go, Precious Achiuwa has the athleticism to give Gobert problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Look for the Wolves to, once again, lean on more athletic front-court options like Julius Randle and Naz Reid against this Knicks lineup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even against other teams, Gobert\u2019s minutes have taken a hit as the season has gone on, falling from 35 per game in October to fewer than 32 minutes a game this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His scoring (8.4 points per game) and rebounding (10.3 per game) have also unsurprisingly taken a hit this month \u2013 both of which would be his fewest over a full season since his sophomore season in the NBA ten years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Betting on the NBA? <\/p>\n
Gobert has had double-digit rebounds in just ten of his last 20 games, and double-digit points in even fewer than that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bet the Knicks to hold him in check once again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The play: Rudy Gobert under 20.5 points + rebounds (-115, Bet365)<\/p>\n
