The Sixers didn’t take the court Wednesday night, but they might have still won big.
With the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic losing, the Sixers now have the inside track for the sixth seed in the East, barring a weird tiebreaker coming into play.
Luka Doncic and the Mavericks did the Sixers a huge solid, beating the Heat 111-92 in South Beach. Even without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks were able to take down the Magic in Milwaukee 117-99. Since the Sixers own the tiebreaker over Orlando, it means if the Sixers beat the Magic and close out the season with a win over the Brooklyn Nets Sunday, they will be in the driver’s seat for the No.
