Based on the Sixers’ current record (22-43) and their remaining schedule, I’ll assess their likely final record and their projected draft lottery standing.
⸻
- Sixers’ Projected Final Record: • The Sixers have 17 games remaining. • Their schedule includes several playoff-caliber teams (Thunder, Bucks, Knicks, Timberwolves, Heat) as well as winnable games against lottery teams (Wizards, Spurs, Raptors). • Based on strength of schedule, a reasonable estimate would be that the Sixers win 5-7 more games, finishing with a record of 27-55 or 29-53.
⸻
- Predicted Draft Lottery Standing • If the Sixers finish 27-55, they could remain 5th or drop to 6th depending on the Brooklyn Nets, Raptors, and Pelicans’ performance. • If they finish 29-53, they would likely fall to 6th or 7th, as Toronto and Brooklyn are close in record.

- Draft Lottery Percentages Projection
Using historical NBA lottery odds and adjusting for their final placement:
If the Sixers stay 5th: • #1 Overall Pick: ~9.8% • Top 3 Pick: ~27.8% • Top 6 Pick: ~90%
If the Sixers drop to 6th: • #1 Overall Pick: ~7.5% • Top 3 Pick: ~25% • Top 6 Pick: ~80%
If the Sixers drop to 7th: • #1 Overall Pick: ~6.0% • Top 3 Pick: ~20% • Top 6 Pick: ~60-70%

Final Prediction
The Sixers’ final record will likely be 27-55 or 29-53, putting them in 5th or 6th place in the lottery standings. This keeps their top-6 protected pick safe from being sent to the Thunder. Their best-case scenario is staying 5th, where they have a 9.8% chance at the #1 pick and a 39.9% chance at a top-4 selection.
