The offseason can't come quick enough for the Philadelphia 76ers. Tonight, they're set as massive underdogs to the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are fighting to avoid the play-in tournament in the Western Conference.

The T-Wolves are riding a four-game win streak and are in a great spot to extend that to five tonight.

Let's take a look at everything you need to know to bet tonight's game.

Timberwolves vs. 76ers Best Prop Bet

The 76ers have been the worst rebounding team this season, grabbing just 47.3% of available boards. That could lead to players like Julius Randle having a big performance on the glass tonight. He has recorded 8+ rebounds in three straight games.

Timberwolves vs. 76ers Prediction and Pick

There's no way I can justify a bet on the 76ers in this spot against a team that's desperate for wins in the final stretch of the season.

Minnesota ranks sixth in the NBA in three-point shot rate with 45.6% of its shots coming from beyond the arc. Tonight, the Timberwolves get to face one of the worst perimeter defenses in the league. The 76ers allow teams to shoot 38.0% from beyond the arc, with only the Kings (38.4%) ranking worse. Over their last three games, Philadelphia has allowed teams to shoot 45.0% from three-point land.

Minnesota is going to be able to attack the perimeter and run away with the win tonight.
