With four consecutive losses, all by double digits, the Philadelphia 76ers are having their worst run of the season. In contrast, Minnesota has won seven of the previous ten games and three in a row.

The Philadelphia 76ers have dropped four straight games by an average of 22.8 points, and three of those losses have also come against losing teams. The Sixers can be the focus of the Minnesota Timberwolves' whole attention. The T-Wolves took an 18-point lead against Dallas on Friday after winning two in a row by more than 20 points, but they messed up a little and let the Mavericks tie it late. Anthony Edwards, the All-Star MVP, had 40 against Dallas and will play hot in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves - Game Prediction

As home favorites on Sunday, Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves hope to continue their winning streak against the Philadelphia 76ers, who have recently been suffering.

The Minnesota offense will once again center on Edwards, who scored 40 against Dallas. Over the past three games, he has made more than half of his shots and more than a third of his three-point tries, with an All-Star MVP performance in between.

Julius Randle will have to help cover the slack on the boards because Gobert is out. He has pulled down seven or more rebounds in four of the previous five games, even with Gobert at his side. Minnesota wants to secure a top-four seed in the Western Conference, while the 76ers risk dropping into the Eastern Conference play-in tournament.
