Gobert missed Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets, but the Timberwolves were able to win by a score of 129-117.
They have one of the best rosters in the NBA but are off to a 4-5 start in their first nine games.
Last season, they went 46-36 and made the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2018, but they have a lot of new players this year.
Therefore, they are still getting acclimated to playing with one another.
Gobert is also a big part of their roster now, so adding him to Anthony Edwards, D'Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns will take time to gel.
Once they get rolling, they could be a potential contender in the Western Conference.
They have a 4-3 record in the seven games they've played at home.
As for the Knicks, they enter the evening with a 4-5 record in their first nine games of the season.
After starting out 3-1, they have gone cold over their last five games.
They are coming off a 133-118 loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday night at home in Manhattan.
