The 76ers, without Joel Embiid, host the surging Timberwolves, who are led by Anthony Edwards and missing Rudy Gobert due to suspension.

The Philadelphia 76ers, without injured star Joel Embiid, face the surging Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis after a four-game losing streak, including a 126-111 loss to the Pelicans. Tyrese Maxey, averaging 28.9 points, has struggled with efficiency, shooting 41.4% from the field and 25.4% from three over his past seven games. Meanwhile, Anthony Edwards is playing at a career-high level, averaging 29.5 points and scoring 40 in a win over Dallas, credited for his improved clutch play and development of a reliable end-game move under coach Chris Finch. The Timberwolves, winners of three straight, are without Rudy Gobert, suspended for one game after a flagrant foul. The teams have split their 68 all-time meetings, with Minnesota winning both matchups last season.
