"You're probably tired of seeing the 76ers beat up on the dregs of the NBA, which they have been for most of the season.

That will change Monday, when the Sixers will play seven straight games against teams with winning records. Six of them have a winning percentage of .625 or better. The combined record of those teams is 90-42 for a winning percentage of .681.

We should find out then if the Sixers are for real following an impressive 13-6 start to the season.

It'll be quite a change.

The Sixers have played the easiest schedule in the NBA so far. Their opponents came into Saturday's games with a winning percentage of .436."
