When the Philadelphia 76ers host the Detroit Pistons in the regular-season finale for both on Sunday, it will be a contest between one team with incentive to win, and another with a slight incentive to lose.

The 76ers enter with a chance to improve their playoff seeding in the Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia enters at 50-31, tied with Boston for the third-best record in the East, but Boston holds the tiebreaker for the No. 3 seed owing to a better record within the Atlantic Division.

But while Boston has to play its regular-season finale at Memphis, the second-best team in the Western Conference, Philadelphia gets to host Detroit (23-58), the second-worst team in the East.

Opportunity could definitely be knocking for the 76ers to move up into the No. 3 spot in the East playoffs, which would mean a first-round matchup against slumping Chicago instead of red-hot Toronto.

The 76ers have won four of their past five games, averaging 126.8 points, including a 133-120 home win over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday that led 76ers head coach Doc Rivers to praise his team’s offensive pace.
