76ers at Timberwolves picks and predictionsPrediction

Timberwolves 119, 76ers 112

PASS.

There is minimal value on the Timberwolves (-350) to win at home, where they are 20-10.

LEAN 76ERS +8.5 (-110).

The Sixers are 29-25-2 ATS this season, while the Wolves are 25-32 ATS.

With the absence of Gobert, who is averaging a double-double and leading the NBA in field goal percentage, the Wolves will not have as large an advantage as they would with him playing. The Wolves are 2-5 ATS over their last 7 games.

The Sixers, still without Embiid, have been anchored by Maxey, who will need yet another big performance. They are 2-2 ATS in their last 4 road games in which they entered as underdogs.

BET UNDER 238.5 (-110).

The Sixers have scored 111 or fewer points in each of their last 3 games and in 4 of their last 5. They have scored 115 or fewer in 6 of their last 7, while allowing 117 or fewer in 6 of their last 10.

The Wolves have allowed 116 or fewer points in each of their last 4 games and have hit the Under in 3 of their last 5.
