Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Philadelphia 76ers: Key matchups

Rob Dillingham vs. Jared McCain

The rookies, who play the point guard position, have played against each other since they were in high school. They also faced each other in the Las Vegas Summer League. After their impressive NBA debuts, they will again square off on Friday. Minnesota and Philadelphia are likely limiting their respective starters so, fans might get extended minutes of Dillingham versus McCain.

Andre Drummond vs. Rudy Gobert

Another interesting matchup on Friday will be between Rudy Gobert and Andre Drummond. As neither player has an outside game, fans can expect a bruising battle under the paint. How two of the NBA’s best rebounders jostle in the low blocks to control the boards will be worth watching.

Eric Gordon vs. Donte DiVincenzo

Eric Gordon and Donte DiVincenzo, who arrived in the offseason for the 76ers and the Timberwolves, respectively, will go head-to-head. Gordon struggled in New Zealand while DiVincenzo sizzled in his Timberwolves debut. The veteran guards will try to outshoot each other in the matchup.
