76ers at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 118, Timberwolves 115

Moneyline

BET 76ERS +165.

While Timberwolves are undefeated at home this season (6-0), Philadelphia is 4-1 on the road and has won its last 4 games. With Embiid playing in MVP-caliber form, averaging a double-double, he has been a difficult force to stop. Coming off a difficult overtime loss at home, Philly will be looking for a bounce-back victory.

The Sixers have 3 players averaging almost 20 points and that will be too much for the Wolves to handle on Wednesday.

The Timberwolves rank 25th in the league with a 1.65 assist to turnover ratio while the 76ers rank 8th in the same category (1.90). The Sixers ability to move the ball and maintain possession will be the key to their victory.

Against the spread

PASS.

The moneyline presents better odds for Philadelphia.

Over/Under

BET OVER 220.5 (-110).

Minnesota has a 7-3 Over record in its last 10 games and an 8-5 Over record on the season while Philadelphia has an 8-5-1 Over record this season. In a clash of 2 of the NBA's top teams, expect a back-and-forth affair resulting in lot of points. The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these franchises dating back to April of 2021.
