Former MVP James Harden will be making his 76er debut in this game after his blockbuster move to Philadelphia from the Brooklyn Nets which saw Ben Simmons move the other way.
Harden will be joining MVP candidate Joel Embiid as they bid to make a run for the NBA Championship, but it may take some time to gain some chemistry together, especially as they have very definitive styles of play, but with two of the best players in the league, they should find it quickly.
The Timberwolves are coming into this on the 2nd game of a back-to-back, with their first game being an impressive win against a red-hot Memphis Grizzlies team, and their players will have the motivation to spoil the occasion for the new-look Philadelphia squad.
