76ers vs Timberwolves Prediction
The Timberwolves are fighting to get out of the play-in tournament, and they’ve won and covered their last four games. The 76ers are one of those teams that’s waiting for the season to end and aren’t even putting out an NBA roster these days. The 76ers are 0-10 SU and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games. It’s hard to make a case for the 76ers these days. The 76ers are 26-51 ATS in the season, which makes them the worst cover team in the NBA. Thick line and the Timberwolves can play with their food at times, but you can’t put real dollars on the 76ers. Give me the Timberwolves in a road beatdown.
