Minnesota Timberwolves vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 04/05/25

The Philadelphia 76ers will be trying to end a 10-game losing streak when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday. Actually, that isn’t really the case. In all likelihood the Sixers will actively be trying to lose their 11th game in a row. They are in all-out tank mode and that effort has paid off in the form of falling behind Brooklyn for the third-worst record in the Eastern Conference and fifth worst in the entire NBA. Philadelphia won’t have the best odds to land Cooper Flagg with the #1 overall pick in the NBA Draft, but its number of ping-pong balls is steadily increasing. It is no surprise to see Philly catching 16 points against the spread, but I’m hesitant to give that many in any NBA game. Instead, I’ll back the over for this Timberwolves vs 76ers pick.

The 76ers are, of course, showing zero commitment on the defensive end of the floor. They have surrendered point totals of 144, 133, 128, 132, 127 and 126 during their 10-game losing streak. On the bright side, Philadelphia is at least managing to score a decent amount — in part because it is getting blown out so often and so convincingly that opponents can take the foot off the defensive gas pedal in the fourth quarter. The Sixers have put up at least 113 points 4 time in their last 8 outings. Four different guys have led the team in scoring the past 4 games, so there are options even though Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and others have been shut down for the season. Mainly, though, it is Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle who will likely shoulder most of the load for a Minnesota squad that might score 130.
