Peter’s Pick
You wouldn’t think it, but it’s actually the Timberwolves who are coming into this meeting in better form given that they’ve won nine of their last 10 games. The 76ers had won two in a row before last night’s tough overtime loss to the Cavaliers, which is why they’ve opened as underdogs here. There is currently no players listed on the injury report for the 76ers, but don’t be surprised if they decide to rest someone at the last moment so check lineups before tipoff. With that being said, the Timberwolves are full of confidence and I think they get another statement win at home at this reasonable line.
