Minnesota Timberwolves at Philadelphia 76ers

The 76ers (3-33) return to The Center to begin a season-long stretch of six consecutive home games.  They host the Minnesota Timberwolves (12-22) at 7:00 PM EST on Monday.  Both teams will be looking to end two-game losing streaks.

Philadelphia picked off the Phoenix Suns and the Sacramento Kings on the trip to triple their season win total but head home after dropping the final two legs to the Lakers and Clippers in Los Angeles. The 76ers showed off an ability to take advantage of other down-on-their-luck teams with those two wins but got another lesson in just how far away they are from competing at higher levels in a 130-99 loss to the Clippers that closed out the trip.

The Timberwolves are another team caught in a slump and have lost six of their last seven games without reaching 100 points in any of those contests. Minnesota shot 39.3 percent from the field in a 95-85 home loss to the defensively-challenged Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, including a 3-of-14 effort from 3-point range
