Wolves gameday

Last update: January 4, 2007 - 7:35 PM

Preview: The 76ers wrap up a seven-game road trip tonight (they're 2-4 so far). The Wolves beat the Sixers on Dec. 3, but will see a different group tonight, thanks to the Allen Iverson trade. Andre Miller is the point guard and rookie forward Rodney Carney has moved into the starting lineup.

Players to watch: Miller has averaged 15.6 points and eight assists with Philadelphia. Guard Andre Iguodala leads the 76ers in scoring (16.3 points per game) and is third in the NBA with 2.2 steals per game.

Numbers: The 76ers are 4-5 since the Iverson trade Dec. 19, and that includes a victory at Denver. ... Wolves forward Kevin Garnett became the 51st player in NBA history to reach 18,000 points with a basket in the fourth quarter Wednesday against the Spurs.

Injuries: For Philadelphia, forward Chris Webber (right foot bruise) has missed eight of the 76ers' past 11 games; he will be a game-time decision. Wolves guard Marko Jaric (right thumb) is questionable.
