6. Philadelphia 76ers (32-18)

Jimmy Butler was recovering from an injured wrist injury, but it appears that he will be back sooner than later. That’s definitely some good news for the Philadelphia 76ers. This team needs as much time as they can get collectively before the playoffs.

The Sixers are an interesting team with a ton of potential. They are a tam that can compete with the best of them, but I’m interested to see how this team looks in a seven game series against the likes of the Raptors, Bucks of Celtics.

They’ve proven that they can beat on the lesser teams, but I’m really excited to see if their young stars can take the next step in the playoffs.
