We all know Philadelphia won't go 0-82. So who will they beat? Bad teams on any given night, and this will be one of them. The 76ers aren't devoid of talent. They have a dynamite point guard in Michael Carter-Williams, off a game against the Spurs with 24 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. As a +11.5 dog, they almost beat the champs in a 109-103 defeat. Now they head to Minnesota, a bad, banged-up team that has lost five of six. Minnesota is dealing with injuries to Nikola Pekovic (wrist), Ricky Rubio (ankle), Kevin Martin (wrist) and Ronny Turiaf (hip). The Timberwolves lost their last three home games by an average of 19.3 points, posting a minus -12.4 rebounding differential and allowing opponents to shoot 50.4%. You heard it here first, the 76ers get their first win. Take Philadelphia on the moneyline.
