The key matchup here is Tyrese Maxey trying to navigate Rudy Gobert's paint presence. Maxey has been carrying a huge load for the Sixers, averaging 25.7 points per game this season, but he's going to find lanes harder to come by with the three-time DPOY anchoring the Wolves. Philly's lost three of their last five, and even with Joel Embiid back, he's still shaking off the rust; he shot just 6-for-17 against the Thunder on Tuesday. The Wolves, meanwhile, are 7-3 in their last ten, looking sharp.
Minnesota handles the Embiid-less Sixers, winning 108-99.
