💰 Timberwolves vs. 76ers best bet

See all of our experts' NBA picks for today's slate.

The Philadelphia 76ers are in a strong position to cover the -5 spread against the Timberwolves tonight, especially with the game being played at home. Philadelphia has won seven of its last ten games and is building momentum at the right time, while Minnesota comes in on the second night of a back-to-back after a tough loss.

The Timberwolves are also dealing with key injuries, including uncertainty surrounding Anthony Edwards, which significantly limits their offensive ceiling. Meanwhile, the 76ers are trending upward and could get Joel Embiid back in the lineup, giving them a major edge on both ends.
