In the second and final meeting this season the Minnesota Timberwolves are on the road to play the Philadelphia 76ers. Minny took the first contest 112-99 on November 22nd.
Both teams last played on Monday with the Wolves defeating the Heat (112-108) while the 76ers lost a nailbiter versus the Bulls (108-104).
Season Series
Last season the teams split their two regular season contests while Philly holds the slim 33 to 32 edge over the Wolves all-time.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Through 25 games the Timberwolves continue to lead the West and are tied with the Celtics with the best NBA record (Boston plays tonight so one team will take a half-point edge).
Whether the Wolves finish the season atop the ladder will likely be determined in this next schedule stint as the Wolves play 16 consecutive teams who possess above .500 records. So far, they’re 3-1, but the elite of the upper echelon lies in wait during this segment.
Even if Minny comes out of this with above .500 success that will cement this team as a true challenger to win the conference and lay a stake to being a finals challenger.
Timberwolves Stats
Minny ranks 17th offensively (114.0), and first defensively (106.8), with a net differential of plus +7.2 ranking third overall.
Through 25 games the Wolves are 14-10-1 against the spread which is a product of how many clutch time matches they are winning that doesn’t cover the spread.
Timberwolves Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jaylen Clark, SF (OUT Wednesday—Achilles)
Philadelphia 76ers
Joel Embiid is on a burner playing arguably better than he did last season in his MVP year. The big man is averaging 34 points, 11.8 rebounds, six assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.9 blocks playing just 34 minutes a match.
He frequently is sitting the fourth quarter which speaks to how efficiently he is performing. On Monday, he had the opportunity to tie the game with .6 seconds on the clock but the ball squirted out of his hands.
That’s not happening very often with Embiid who is shooting 53.4 percent from the field.
76ers Stats
Philly ranks fourth offensively (121.4), and 12th defensively (109.9) while possessing a net rating of plus +11.4 which ranks third overall.
The Sixers are one of the better bets against the spread with an 18-8 record through 26 contests.
76ers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Nicolas Batum, SG (OUT Wednesday — hamstring)
- Marcus Morris, PF (questionable — illness)
- Robert Covington, SF (questionable — illness)

Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Philadelphia 76ers NBA Prediction:
The Wolves are one of the lengthiest lineups in the league with Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns providing two 7-footers in the front court while Naz Reid is a solid bench center.
That means they have the bodies to attempt to slow Embiid but ironically the rebounding battle favors the 76ers who rank fifth in total rebounds (Minny ranks eighth) and and ninth in offensive boards.
Despite their size, the Wolves aren’t as adept on the offensive glass ranking 25th which is a minor edge that could help Philly. Still, defense travels as the 9-4 road record of Minny highlights so I’ll take the points.
