76ers center Joel Embiid was marvelous in his team’s 122-119 overtime loss to the Cavs on Tuesday night.

Embiid leads the NBA in scoring this season with 31.9 points per game.
Minnesota Timberwolves Daily Fantasy Spin
Minnesota small forward Jaden McDaniels will miss Wednesday’s game with a right ankle sprain. He’ll be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks. McDaniels is sixth on the team in scoring with 9.5 points per game this season.
Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards did it all in his team’s 117-100 win over the Knicks on Monday night. In that contest, Edwards led the team in points (23), rebounds (10), and assists (5). He even added two steals and a made three-pointer for good measure. Edwards is 15th in the league in scoring this season with 25.8 points per game.

76ers vs. Timberwolves NBA Prediction:
This game is all about rest. The 76ers lost an overtime game at home to Cleveland on Tuesday night 122-119, and they are being forced to play on the road in Minnesota less than 24 hours later. The Timberwolves last played a home game against the Knicks on Monday night. Minnesota won that contest going away 117-100. What’s more, the Timberwolves get this game at home, where they are an NBA-best 6-0 ATS this season. Furthermore, Minnesota is 4-0 ATS this season as a home favorite. I like their chances to improve that record to 5-0 on Wednesday night. I’m laying the points with the Wolves at home.
