Minnesota Timberwolves at Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
Despite, winning outright as a ten-point road pooch, once again we have Philadelphia where we want them. The Sixers could be spotting points here and undoubtedly the win at Denver has reduced their take back when you consider Minnesota limps in off a home loss. We have a chance to now take the Sixers with points as a result of what many may construe as an opportunity for Minnesota to bounce back and dust off the loss, we have dissenting opinions. The win for Philadelphia on the road at Denver could their signature win this season and may spark a rally for the Sixers who may be playing for pride more than anything else at this point. We have targeted teams all week that have been subjected to overreactions and undoubtedly the philosophy here is that a Minnesota team that routs Milwaukee and beats Atlanta handily would be able to take care of Philly. However, we are playing percentages here and given the fact Philly has won over 50% of their games at home while Minnesota has lost over 50% of their games this year on the road, we have to like our spot here with the points.
Free Pick:
Take Philadelphia +4.5
