On Tuesday night (January 15), the Philadelphia 76ers hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves. Philadelphia came away with a dominant victory, 149-107. Below are five of the star players from this recent NBA game.

1

Joel Embiid - Philadelphia 76ers

It was recently reported that Embiid has rookies pick him up Chick-Fil-A orders before their flights. There was no flight today, but he put up big numbers at home. Embiid had 31 points and 13 rebounds in the dominant home win.

2

Ben Simmons - Philadelphia 76ers

Simmons was just an assist shy of reaching another triple-double on Tuesday night. He tallied 20 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists in the Sixers' victory.

3

Jimmy Butler - Philadelphia 76ers

One might expect Jimmy Butler to be the top performer against his former team, but he took a backseat to Embiid and Simmons. That said, Butler finished with 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting, along with three rebounds, four assists, two steals, and a block.

4

Derrick Rose - Minnesota Timberwolves

There weren't too many performances to talk about for the losing side in this game, although D-Rose continues to shine. He came off the bench to record 15 points, four assists, and two rebounds in the losing effort. Not only that, he reached 10,000 career points in the game.

5

Karl-Anthony Towns - Minnesota Timberwolves

Towns usually puts up big numbers, but this game was a letdown for the Wolves starter, by those standards. He finished with 13 points, three rebounds, two assists, and two steals on Tuesday.
