Six games. That’s all that stands between us and an offseason break from the slog of these Sixers games. And an anxious wait ahead of the NBA draft lottery... but we’ll get to that soon enough and can focus on the odds in the meantime.
For now, the next opponent for the Sixers on Thursday is the Bucks, sitting at 41-34 and sixth place in the East. As they’re still fighting for the potential to move up to the fourth seed, they should have all the motivation they need to beat a tanking Sixers squad — the owners of the longest active losing streak in the league at nine games.
