Minnesota at Philadelphia

Neither of these teams can be happy about where they are through 15 games of the season. The Sixers are battling multiple injuries, and the biggest is James Harden who will be out until early December. The Sixers have won 3 straight but they are in a tough physical and emotional spot as they knocked off Milwaukee last night in a physically demanding upset. They certainly could be flat here vs a Minnesota team that has won 2 straight road games and comes in feeling good about themselves and are also on 2 days' rest. The Timberwolves have shot the ball better of late than they have all season knocking down 50% or more of their shots in 4 of their last 6 games, and catching Philadelphia in a tough spot. Make the play on Minnesota.
