Prediction

Two hot teams going toe-to-toe. Thank god we have the home court advantage tonight.

And as well, welcome back Reggie.

[Apollo]

The Sixers (20-31) snapped Minnesota's four-game winning streak and left the Timberwolves with a 13-39 record.

After the final horn sounded, the Sixers hustled off the court so they could head to the airport for their flight to Toronto. They are scheduled to meet the Raptors tonight in their last game before the all-star break.

"We plan to finish up strong," said forward Elton Brand, who finished with 21 points. "We've won five in a row, and we want to make it six and enjoy the break and come back."

Philly is riding an 5 game win streak and Hedo apparently won't play tonight due to an illness in the family. The stench of an upset is in the air. Raps will pull it out though!

LET'S GO RAPTORS!!!

[Doc]

Considering how well the Sixers are playing right now we could of used Hedo. Ah well, hopefully Wright is ready to bring it against Andre.

Excited to see what Reggie will do tonight. I don't imagine him getting much burn tonight.

[Dave]

Bargnani can beat Brand whenever he wants to ... no way Brand can keep up with him off the bounce.

[Doc]

Nice offensive board and basket from Andrea.

[Doc]

Sick pass by Jack to DeMar. Too bad Dalembert stuffed his ass.

[Dave]

Philadelphia should start Jrue Holiday full time. I like their team with him, Iverson and Young starting. Then Williams + Brand as the first two subs off the bench.

[Doc]

What a give-and-go between Bosh and Weems.

[Doc]

I love that little turnaround fadaway jumper from Andrea.

[Dave]

It's amazing what a little confidence has done for this team

[Dave]

What a give-and-go between Bosh and Weems.

I love that little turnaround fadaway jumper from Andrea.

Beautiful plays ... and two terrific lob passes from Calderon to Weems + Amir.

Edit: Make that three lob passes (DeRozan) from Calderon.

[Doc]

The Jose to Amir alley-oop strikes again.

[Doc]

Is that Scott Skiles or Jose Calderon out there tonight? 4 minutes and 5 assists already.

[Doc]

Any chance we see Reggie tonight?
