Timberwolves vs. 76ers Best Prop Bet
- Julius Randle OVER 6.5 Rebounds (-115) via DraftKings
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.
Pick: Timberwolves -16 (-112) via DraftKings
