Minnesota Timberwolves vs Philadelphia 76ers preview

The Timberwolves currently hold the sixth spot in the West but just barely. They are tied in terms of record with the LA Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies but are ahead because of head-to-head record. It is important to finish sixth or above as it confirms automatic qualification for the playoffs.

Minnesota is on a four-game winning streak and has won seven of the past 10 games. It most recently played on Thursday and defeated the Brooklyn Nets 105-90 behind Anthony Edwards’ 28 points. Rudy Gobert had a double-double of 21 points and 18 rebounds.

The 76ers have been one of the most disappointing teams this season if not the most. After being deemed as a championship contender this past offseason after signing Paul George in free agency, there were high expectations. However, everything came crashing down because of injuries.

Philly has been eliminated from playoff contention, with Joel Embiid (left knee), Tyrese Maxey (finger) and George (left knee) out for the season. The team has lost 10 straight games, the longest losing streak in the league.

The Sixers last played on Thursday and lost 126-113 to the Milwaukee Bucks. Quentin Grimes had a double-double of 24 points and 10 assists, while Adem Bona led the team in scoring with 28 points.
