Timberwolves vs. 76ers Prediction, Odds and Best NBA Prop Bets for Friday, April 3

In this story:
The Philadelphia 76ers return home from a 2-1 road trip to battle the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night.
The 76ers have turned a corner recently, winning seven of their last 10 games. Minnesota has been strong as well, but the Timberwolves have lost two of their last three, including a defeat in Detroit last night.
Philadelphia got a 135-108 road win over the Timberwolves in February.
The oddsmakers have the 76ers as slight home favorites at the best betting sites on
Friday night.
Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Friday night’s NBA matchup.

Timberwolves vs. 76ers Best NBA Prop Bets
76ers Best NBA Prop Bet
- Paul George OVER 19.5 Points (-121)
Paul George turned back the clock on Wednesday night. The 35-year-old veteran dropped 39 points on 15 of 22 shooting (6 of 12 from deep) in a 153-131 win in Washington.
Since returning from suspension, George has 28, 26, 19, and 39 points in four games. He’s up to 17.5 points per game on the season through 31 games.
I’ll back George to stay hot at home with Embiid unlikely to play.
Timberwolves vs. 76ers Prediction and Pick
The Timberwolves have slowed things down a bit recently. They’ve gone UNDER in six straight games and eight of their last nine, with the lone OVER coming against the lowly Jazz.
The 76ers just played quite the high-scoring game in Washington, but they had two straight UNDER games before that, and the UNDER is 6-4 in their last 10.
With the Timberwolves having tired legs, I think they’ll keep this a lower-scoring game again tonight in Philadelphia.
Pick: UNDER 233.5 (-110)
