Philadelphia 76ers vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Current situation
With the Brooklyn Nets leaping over them in the standings, the 76ers are more than happy to remain in 13th place of the Eastern Conference. This gives them a better chance at landing a solid pick in the upcoming NBA draft, so don’t expect them to put any effort into winning games in the remaining 5 outings.
Minnesota is in a completely different situation. They have the easiest remaining schedule in the entire NBA, so their chances of leaping into the top 6 seeds are high. Depending on how Memphis plays, they can become a top 6 seed as early as Saturday night with a win in Philadelphia. Ant Man and co. are 7-3 SU over their last 10 games and have won 4 in a row.
Philadelphia 76ers Stats & Form
Thursday night saw the 76ers lose their 10th game in a row as the Milwaukee Bucks took them down 126-113 at home. They couldn’t do much about Giannis Antetokounmpo who scored 35 points, grabbed 17 rebounds and dished out 20 assists. A total of 3 Sixers starters scored 20+ points, but without any real defense and effort it is hard to expect anything from Philadelphia at this point.
Minnesota Timberwolves Stats & Form
Despite an early injury scare, Edwards and his Timberwolves were able to overcome adversity and record their 4th win in a row as they took down the Brooklyn Nets 105-90. Edwards rolled his ankle after stepping on the Nets’ head coach foot after draining a three-ball, but he returned in the 2nd half and finished the game with 28 points including 45 threes.
Philadelphia 76ers vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Head-to-Head
These two teams met about a month ago in Minnesota and the home team cruised to a 126-112 win. It was only the 4th win for Minnesota in 11 meetings, but they are looking to add to that on Saturday. From a bettors perspective, the Timberwolves have covered the spread only 5 times in 20 meetings.

Betting tip and prediction: Philadelphia 76ers vs Minnesota Timberwolves (05.04.2025)
Despite being double-digit favorites here, we don’t believe people should shy away from backing the Timberwolves on Saturday night. Minnesota has displayed defensive excellence more often than not in the last month or so and they are heating up just at the right time in order to improve their seeding in the loaded Western Conference. Their head-to-head record isn’t pretty against the 76ers, however with Philadelphia currently tanking and without their 3 best players this is a chance for the Timberwolves to improve on those numbers. They’ve covered the spread in 5 of 6 games overall and are currently on a run of 6 wins in 7 road games. Against Eastern Conference opponents they’ve recorded 6 wins in 8 games, they’ve been a steady bet in road games from a bettors perspective – covering the spread in 21 of 38 games. The 76ers cannot wait for this season to be over. They are on one of their worst runs as a franchise in the last 2 decades. This team has lost 10 games in a row and failed to cover the spread in 9 in a row. Even veterans like Kyle Lowry who love playing the game on a nightly basis are finding excuses not to suit up. Teams are just taking advantage of a lackluster effort, especially on the defensive end. No team in the NBA has a worse defensive rating over the past 10 games than these 76ers. Opponents are scoring 124.5 points per 100 possessions against them, so even the slower paced Timberwolves could be in for a high scoring game here. We would be surprised if Philadelphia cracked the 100 point mark here, let’s back the visitors to cover the spread.
