5. Philadelphia 76ers (13-8)
Last week: 9
The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a bit of a misstep a few nights ago when they dropped a game to the Cavaliers, but since acquiring Jimmy Butler this team has been really good. With Butler in the lineup, the team is 4-2.
Funny thing is the two games that this team lost with Butler in the lineup, they probably shouldn’t have lost – against the Magic and Cavs. But that’s something that Philly needs to correct, especially if they championship aspirations.
I don’t think the Sixers are done making moves either. This team needs shooting and will likely find that via trade. This team could use Wayne Ellington in the worst way.
