Following four days off, the 8-7 Philadelphia 76ers wrap up their four-game homestand with another Midwestern foe sporting a jumbo-sized duo inside, this time in the form of the 7-8 Minnesota Timberwolves. Whereas the Sixers had a significant rest advantage Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota is the one holding that edge this time. The Timberwolves last played Wednesday, notching a 126-108 road win over the Orlando Magic.
After acquiring Rudy Gobert this summer to pair with their core of Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo Russell, the Timberwolves have stumbled through the opening month.
