Timberwolves vs 76ers Picks and Prediction – 4/5/2025

The Wells Fargo Center will play host to a Saturday night NBA clash between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Philadelphia 76ers. For other NBA action see our NBA Predictions. The Timberwolves (45-32) are riding a four-game winning streak and are tied with Memphis for sixth place in the Western Conference standings. On Thursday, Minnesota built a 12-point halftime lead and cruised to a 105-90 road victory against Brooklyn. 

All-Star G Anthony Edwards led all scorers with 28 points on 10-for-15 shooting and pulled down five boards. Minnesota C Rudy Gobert contributed 21 points (9-10 FG), 18 rebounds, and two blocks. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Naz Reid scored 13 points apiece off the bench for the Timberwolves.

The Philadelphia 76ers are looking to snap a ten-game losing streak and have been eliminated from postseason contention. The 76ers (23-54) rank near the bottom of the league in defensive efficiency and are surrendering 115.8 points per game. On Thursday, Philadelphia missed 27 of 39 three-point attempts during a 126-113 home loss versus Milwaukee. 

Philadelphia C Adem Bona converted 13 of 15 field goal attempts and finished with a team-high 28 points. Quentin Grimes continued his torrid play with 24 points (7-16 FG) and ten assists. Guerschon Yabusele added 22 points (8-15 FG) and six rebounds for the 76ers, who fell to 12-26 at home. 

Philadelphia will play without Joel Embiid (knee), Paul George (knee), and Tyrese Maxey (finger) for the remainder of the season. The 76ers have allowed at least 125 points six times during their ten-game losing streak. Look for the Timberwolves to eclipse that number in a road victory that goes over the total. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Timberwolves win 125-110.
