The set-up: Minnesota enters off a tough 110-106 home win over New Orleans on Saturday night and I think it'll carry that momentum over here vs. this equally as difficult non-conference opponent. The 76ers enter off a tougher than expected 108-105 road win over the Knicks on Sunday. Minnesota averages 111.6 PPG and it allows 111. Philadelphia is averaging 114.6 PPG, while allowing 112.5.

The pick: The Wolves have won four of their last five thanks in large part to a renewed commitment on the defensive end of the floor. Minnesota has in fact seen the total go "under" in 20 of its last 30 road games when the total is greater than or equal to 220. Philly has lost two of its last three, but it's seen the total go "under" in five of its last seven following a road victory. I think this number is a little high, play the "under."
