The Milwaukee Bucks are a well-oiled machine and have looked head and shoulders above the rest of the East. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and be the favorite to represent the East in the NBA Finals. But the Philadelphia 76ers aren’t ready to give the Bucks the crown in the East just yet. Philadelphia still has as much frontline talent as any team in the Eastern Conference, even with Embiid’s recent injury, but having its two-time All-Star return to form before the playoffs begin remains the top priority. Of the Sixers’ final 17 games this season, nine are against Eastern Conference teams who currently hold a playoff spot.
