A Sixers-centric look at the Eastern Conference standings

The Philadelphia 76ers have lost nine of their last 14 games, resulting in their descent to the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. Their current position places them outside the guaranteed playoff spots. Analyzing their remaining schedule, one wonders if it offers an opportunity for a late-season surge or if it presents further challenges. Let’s break down their remaining games.

Per Tankathon, the Sixers have the 12th-hardest remaining schedule, with the hardest games including the Oklahoma City Thunder, L.A. Clippers (twice), Milwaukee Bucks, New Orleans Pelicans and the Orlando Magic.

Two notable Eastern Conference teams with a harder schedule include Doc Rivers’ Milwaukee Bucks — who have the third-hardest remaining schedule — and the Indiana Pacers, who have the seventh-hardest remaining schedule.
