Philadelphia at Minnesota

Premium Pick

The Minnesota Timberwolves are a franchise that is in trouble. They have not had a winning season since 2004, and this season is starting to look like a repeat, which will make 12 straight losing campaigns. The T-Wolves are off to a 3-7 start, and seeing them as a double-digit favorite doesn't hold a lot of confidence. Minnesota is just 174-274 SU at home since 2005. Playing at home in the role of a favorite has left them at just 85-114 ATS over the same period. The Sixers have now completed three seasons with fewer than 20 wins in all of them. At 2-9 this season, they appear to not be getting much better. They may be bad, but Minnesota is in a role where they are impossible to trust. Play the points on Philadelphia.
