The Philadelphia 76ers are currently riding a 9-game losing streak as they sit at 23-53 in what has been a miserable season for them. They have been dealing with injuries since the season began in October and are just inching to the finish line at this point in the year.
With that being said, there is still work to do in order to keep their top 6 protected draft pick. They won't know their fate until May 12, but the Sixers are working to make sure they have their best chances at keeping that pick.
Here is an updated look at the lottery standings as the Sixers continue with their season:
