76ers at Timberwolves: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
76ers 113, Timberwolves 103
Money line (ML)
The 76ERS (-295) are huge favorites. They’ve won four of their last five games, including an impressive 107-106 win over the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday night. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves have lost 13 of their last 15 games and will be without Towns once again.
Don’t expect this game to be all that close and for the 76ers to get another easy win.
Against the spread (ATS)
The 76ERS -6.5 (-110) are a smart play to win by 7 or more points, as they are against the spread 10-9. They’ve really played well over the last few weeks and the offense has picked up steam.
They should be able to get to 110 or more points in this game and the Timberwolves really don’t have any way to keep up. Take Philly to cover the spread Friday night in Minnesota.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 224.5 (-110) is the optimal play here as the Timberwolves just don’t have the offensive firepower to keep up in this game. Since Jan. 10, there have been four games in which the T-Wolves failed to reach 100 points. They should get close to that number Friday night, but it likely won’t be enough for the Over to hit unless the 76ers really explode on offense.
Take the Under as this should be a 110-100 type of game in Minnesota.
