Projecting the NBA Eastern Conference playoff seeds

#4 - Philadelphia 76ers (currently 38-30, 6th)

Youth should serve the 76ers well down the stretch...

After finishing 14th in the Eastern Conference last season, the Philadelphia 76ers are on the verge of a tremendous comeback. It just isn't last year that Philly has been bad, they have finished in the bottom two of the East each of the last four years.

The play of their young stars Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons have Philly in 6th place in the Eastern Conference, but their young legs should help them down the stretch. It will also help that 9 of their last 14 games will be at home where they are 21-11 on the season.
