Timberwolves at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 121, Timberwolves 116

Moneyline

PASS.

There is more profit to be made betting on the Sixers' (-160) spread.

Against the spread

BET 76ERS -3.5 (-105).

While Philadelphia is coming off a tough home loss against the Bulls, it shot just 43% from the field. In an uncharacteristic team performance where only Embiid and Maxey seemed to find consistent scoring opportunities, the Sixers still stayed in the game. They have an 18-8 ATS record this season and have covered in 6 of their last 8 games as favorites.

Over/Under

BET OVER 226.5 (-110).

The Sixers have a 16-9-1 Over record and have hit the Over in 7 of their last 10 games. They have scored at least 124 points in 7 of their last 10, while Minnesota has scored at least 119 in 5 of its last 10.

Philadelphia has the 2nd-best offensive rating in the league and play at the 12th-fastest pace. Expect another strong performance from Embiid along with better team scoring, enabling the Over to hit.
