Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Philadelphia 76ers Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads - November 19 | 2022-23 NBA Season
Minnesota Timberwolves will take on Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday, November 19th in NBA Regular Season action. The two sides have reversed records at the time of writing. The 76ers are currently 8-7 after a thumping 110-102 win over the Milwaukee Bucks in their last game. That win took them to 8th place in the Eastern Conference standings. The Timberwolves are also on the up in the West as they have won their last two games, improving to a 7-8 record occupying 10th place as a result. The betting odds and predictions are given below:
The Timberwolves are on a roll. They have won both of their last two games, against the Magic and the Cavs respectively. Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards have been an electrifying duo this season, being the joint-scoring leaders for the Timberwolves. Both are currently averaging 22 points a night, as the side is heading in the right direction. The Timberwolves are the fourth-most efficient side in the NBA when it comes to FG%. They are currently converting 48.3% of their attempts from the floor.
The 76ers have one of the very best defenses in the NBA this season. They are allowing the third-fewest field-goal makes and the fourth-fewest field-goal attempts thus far. They have the lowest 3P% allowed in the entire NBA with 31.6% while allowing only the third-fewest points per game (106.2). But the Sixers have a dysfunctional team offense, with the exception of Joel Embiid. With him being in the form that he is in, the fans couldn't possibly ask for me. He is currently averaging a 32-point double-double with 10 rebounds per game. He finally broke his home duck against Giannis in the last game, where he outscored the “Greek Freak” to earn his side an all-important win.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Philadelphia 76ers Injury Report
Three of their vital cavalry around Joel Embiid are injury concerns for this contest. Tobias Harris is at a toss-up status, but James Harden definitely won’t feature. In the case of Maxey, it’s a touch-and-go decision that will be taken very close to tip-off time.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Philadelphia 76ers Betting Prediction
The 76ers have a major injury issue for this game. If they're lucky, they could field an unfit Maxey and Harris, but most likely they will come into this game with a squad disadvantage. The Timberwolves are on the rise and have put together a good run of results. They should ideally win this game against a second-string Phillies side.
Timberwolves: -3 (-110)
