Philadelphia 76ers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
Neither the 76ers nor Timberwolves played their key players in their preseason opener, and that could be the same here as well. The 76ers and Timberwolves are teams that just made deep playoff runs and know what they have for the most part. That’s why I’m leaning toward the 76ers and the free buckets. The Timberwolves and 76ers have had a lot of preseason success in recent years. Whichever team was going to get the points was the side I was going to be on. It just so happens it’s the 76ers.
