Head-to-Head:

Minnesota has won 5 of their last 6 matchups against Philadelphia, including a dominant win earlier this season. The Timberwolves are clicking on both ends, while the 76ers are in complete free fall with injuries to key players.

Minnesota Timberwolves Breakdown:

The Timberwolves are surging as the playoffs approach, winning 7 of their last 10 games while averaging 122.0 points per game and shooting nearly 49.1% from the field. Anthony Edwards continues to be a force, and Rudy Gobert has been a defensive anchor, grabbing 18 rebounds in their last outing. Minnesota ranks top-10 in defensive efficiency and is finding easy buckets in transition and the paint.

Key Players:

  • Anthony Edwards: 28 PTS, 5 REB last game

  • Rudy Gobert: 21 PTS, 18 REB, 2 BLK (9-10 FG)

  • Naz Reid & Nickeil Alexander-Walker: 13 PTS each off the bench

Philadelphia 76ers Breakdown:

The 76ers are in full rebuild mode and missing their entire core—Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey are all out for the season. Philadelphia has allowed 125+ points in 6 of their last 10 games, and their defense ranks near the bottom of the league. Despite some individual offensive flashes from young players, the team lacks consistency and depth.

Key Players:

  • Adem Bona: 28 PTS (13-15 FG) vs. Milwaukee

  • Quentin Grimes: 24 PTS, 10 AST

  • Guerschon Yabusele: 22 PTS, 6 REB

Betting Trends:

Minnesota Timberwolves:

  • 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games

  • OVER in 6 of their last 8

  • 5-1 SU in last 6

Philadelphia 76ers:

  • 0-9 ATS in their last 9 games

Our Best Bet:

Minnesota Timberwolves -15.5 (-110)

Minnesota is firing on all cylinders and should overpower a short-handed 76ers team that has little left to fight for. With Edwards and Gobert locked in and Philly’s defense leaking points, look for the Wolves to win in blowout fashion and cover the big spread comfortably.
