Philadelphia 76ers Schedule 2019 76ers Schedule

The 76ers are one of the league’s more exciting teams right now, especially with stars like Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. They have jumped to one of the higher nationally televised teams, and will kick off the season facing Boston on the road for Opening Night. They also face them on Christmas Day, which is also in Boston. The 76ers-Celtics rivalry runs deep, and after Boston beat them in the playoffs, these two teams are fighting against each other in a top heavy Eastern Conference. The 76ers also face Houston on Martin Luther King Day Jr, which completes the trio of games for the holidays. The 76ers also have televised games against Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Toronto early on in the year. Once they start playing Western Conference teams, they face Utah, Houston, Oklahoma City, Golden State, and the Los Angeles Lakers all on televised schedules. Once a very fun team to watch, they took a rebuilding route and are now back to a level that can compete against anybody. The 76ers won 52 games, which was third best in their division, which is the toughest in the East. Philly dominated at home, winning 30 games. They also struggled within the division, compared to Toronto and Boston. The rest of the Eastern Conference they did well against, going 34-18. This meant they beat up on teams below .500, going 28-7. They went .500 against teams above it, which showcases their youth. Philly went 18-12 against Western Conference teams, and most of their losses came against the Pacific, which is odd given how weak that division was outside of Golden State. Philly will be atop of the East again this year, battling it out with Toronto and Boston. They have 13 back-to-backs on the schedule, which is about average for the league.
