The NBA season is beginning to come down to the wire. The Philadelphia 76ers have 25 games left in the 2025-26 season as they sit at 31-26 following Sunday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The win snapped a 4-game losing skid and helped push the Sixers back in the right direction.

The Eastern Conference standings are tight as teams begin to really fight and jostle with each other for the six guaranteed playoff spots and avoid the dreaded play-in tournament. The Sixers are currently in that fight as they are holding onto that final guaranteed playoff spot for dear life heading into these final games of the season.
