Philadelphia 76ers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

This is a massive line for a Timberwolves team that’s underachieved for the most part and is 27-34-1 ATS on the season, but what’s the alternative? Back the 76ers on the end of a back-to-back? That’s not happening. The 76ers look like a team that’s ready for the offseason and is 22-38 ATS on the year. There’s nothing positive about the 76ers and only the Suns have a worse cover percentage. I don’t care what the line is, I’ll continue to fade the 76ers for the remainder of the season.
