Perspectiva dinaintea meciului

Minnesota holds the slightly stronger case behind a reportedly unrestricted Anthony Edwards, but its preseason scoring has not reliably produced wins and the analysis carries no player-level forecasts.

Context

Minnesota's case leans on Anthony Edwards reportedly past his postseason injury and unrestricted, while New York counters with a settled core of Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and Miles McBride and deeper camp competition behind them.

The four additions give Minnesota a full 21-man camp group and deep end-of-bench competition behind core players Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels and newcomers LaMelo Ball and Jonathan Kuminga. KJ Martin brings 309 games of NBA experience, while Norchad Omier, Drew Timme and Antonio Reeves are likelier fighting for two-way or G League roles. These signings do not project to change the top of the rotation for the preseason game at Madison Square Garden, where Minnesota's primary minutes belong to its established players. Camp opened Sept. 29 at Mayo Clinic Square after Media Day at Target Center. Any of the four could be waived or assigned before the regular season, and a strong exhibition showing alone would not secure a standard deal.
- Minnesota signed KJ Martin, Norchad Omier, Drew Timme and Antonio Reeves
- The roster stands at 21 players
- Media Day Sept. 28 at Target Center; first practice Sept. 29
- Camp held at Mayo Clinic Square
The forecast treats the top eight as settled and counts Donte DiVincenzo out for the first half of the season while he completes Achilles rehabilitation. It also assumes Josh Green is waived-and-stretched to create room for Jonathan Kuminga, so the minute map depends on a roster move that may not be finalized. Terrence Shannon Jr. is projected for a jump to 24 minutes after a larger playoff role, while Joan Beringer, Jaylen Clark and Bones Hyland fill out a possible 10-man rotation. For the preseason game at New York, the practical read is that the starters begin with normal early loads before the exhibition bench takes over. The individual minute numbers are projections rather than confirmed plans, and preseason usage often runs shorter than a regular-season baseline.
- Edwards 35, McDaniels 33, Ball 30, Gobert 30, Kuminga 25 projected
- Dosunmu 27, Shannon Jr. 24, Beringer 18, Clark 10, Hyland 8 off the bench
- DiVincenzo expected to miss the first half of the season in Achilles rehab
- Trey Lyles projected as first man out
The Knicks return a championship core, so the exhibition at Madison Square Garden is more about conditioning and bench evaluation than establishing roles. The starting five knows its assignments and chemistry is not in question after three months off, leaving rust as the main concern. A dedicated competition for the final standard roster spot also ran through camp, with center the position of need. On the wing and in the middle, that audition is the part of the rotation most worth tracking during exhibitions. The starters' workloads remain a projection and could shift with game-day decisions, so heavy minutes for the veteran group are not assured.
- Starting lineup set and bench rotation settled
- Starters unlikely to play much in the preseason
- Final roster spot contested among non-guaranteed camp signings
Towns is being asked to accept a discount below his $276 million maximum and is unlikely to sign before the season; Hart holds a 2027-28 team option, so the team feels little pressure, and McBride has no option and moves toward free agency after the year. An offer worth about $200 million falls short of Towns' max. The delay is not being treated as cause for alarm yet, but no agreement is imminent. On the floor the roles are unchanged: Towns and Hart remain core starters, and McBride, fully healthy after sports-hernia surgery, is positioned as the top guard off the bench. Andre Drummond is the lone rotational addition and a key frontcourt body.
- Towns asked to take a discount below his $276M max
- An offer near $200M sits below his maximum
- Hart has a 2027-28 option; McBride has none
- McBride fully healthy after sports-hernia surgery
