On Wednesday, the Philadelphia 76ers are set to continue their seeding schedule with a matchup against an Eastern Conference opponent in the Washington Wizards. When media outlets claimed the Sixers had one of the easiest remaining schedules during the regular season, the Wizards matchup surely played a part in that.

Many could make the argument that Washington didn't have a chance to crack the eighth seed in the East down in Orlando. And once most of the Wizards' limited star power decided to opt-out of the NBA's return, it created a tough situation for the Wizards. However, that's no reason to count them out against Philly just yet.

The Sixers have the better roster on paper, and should defeat Washington with ease -- but Philly hasn't exactly been on their A-game down in Orlando. In Wednesday afternoon's matchup, the Sixers have a few significant issues they have to patch up moving forward, starting with the fourth quarter defense.

Washington's chances of giving the Sixers a late-game fit for the third-straight game is unlikely, but Philly has proven they can't be trusted to pick up a convincing win down in Orlando just yet. Plan on tuning into the Sixers versus Wizards matchup on Wednesday? Here's all of the information you need to know.
