Ranking the Sixers’ potential first-round matchups

The Philadelphia 76ers have put together one of their best campaigns in the past 20 years, having a real chance to secure the first overall seed in the Eastern Conference. They’ll soon reap the benefits of this reward as the playoffs approach in the coming weeks. While the top of the East might be somewhat decided, the race for some of the lower seeds has quietly intensified.

The new NBA play-in tournament will be in full effect this season, with five Eastern Conference teams possibly being impacted by it. While it’s nearly impossible to predict who the Sixers will match up with at this point in time, we can take a look at each respective team and how they would match up against the 76ers.
