A tight Eastern Conference could benefit the Sixers
The Philadelphia 76ers have won four straight and things are starting to look up.
The Philadelphia 76ers are young and prone to inconsistency, so putting too much stock in their recent success could be a mistake. With that said, it doesn’t look like a fluke. They’re among the best defensive teams in the country and Joel Embiid is healthy, a combination that will normally lead to wins.
Winners of four straight, Philly is 29-25 heading into Wednesday night’s bout with the Miami Heat. Even with Dwyane Wade in the fold, Miami has struggled as of late, dropping to eighth in the Eastern Conference. The Sixers are currently seventh.
