The key now is just to get out of the play-in for them.

And they're pretty close, right?

I think they're a half game out of the sixth seed with the Hawks playing tonight.

We'll see what happens.

But 76ers got to feel like they did a decent enough job of holding the fort with Paul George suspended, Maxie going down with injury.

They didn't fall too far out of the mix in the Eastern Conference that they could still win a first-round series.

Yeah, it is...

It's a scenario if they get up to face the Cavs where it's not quite a coin flip.

I would still probably take the Cavs, but it almost feels like a 52-48.

It's easy to take the Sixers in that battle when Tyrese Maxey is back

healthy, playing 43 minutes in that game.

I think Paul George on both sides looking like that guy he can play on both ends.

And then Kelly Oubre, also back.

Quinton Grimes, also balling.

They have a lot of talent on that team to go up against.

Whether it's the Cavs, if they're able to move up, like you said, the Hawks are only a half game ahead of them.

They got Boston tonight.

Their schedule gets tougher on the Atlanta side.

And even the New York Knicks, I said it last week, I love the matchup of Embiid.

And whether it's Cat or you're going to see a lot more Mitchell Robinson, they're going to have to coordinate who they're trying to guard Joel Embiid with.
