13. Philadelphia 76ers (38-30)

From now until the end of the season, the Philadelphia 76ers, per tankathon have the easiest schedule in the NBA. That means, it’s safe to say that, if anything, the Sixers will be the 6th seed entering the playoffs.

Or, at least, they should be. If the Sixers play to their capabilities, they could wind up in a 4-5 matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round.

That would be quite the scene, especially considering what has been circulating in the news cycle regarding LeBron James and the Sixers. Another thing to keep in mind, could Markelle Fultz return before the end of the season?
