March is shaping up to be the most grueling month on the schedule, particularly in the middle of the month when the Sixers get a murderer’s row of Western Conference contenders. They will face four playoff teams in six days during an extended West Coast trip starting on March 20 in Phoenix and ending on March 25 in Sacramento. Here is how that brutal stretch is slated to play out: at Phoenix (March 20, 10 p.m.), at LA Lakers (March 22, 10:30 p.m.), at LA Clippers (March 24, 3:30 p.m.), and, finally, at Sacramento (March 25, 10 p.m.). Yikes.

From there, they return home for one game at Wells Fargo Center — against the LA Clippers again (March 27, 7:30 p.m.) — before the squad hits the road for another six games in 10 days, with a home date versus Oklahoma City (April 2, 7 p.m.) mixed in for good measure.
The Sixers will have played 9 road games in 17 days when all is said and done, including stops in Cleveland (March 29, 7:30 p.m.), Toronto (March 31, 6 p.m.), Miami (April 4, 7;30 p.m.), Memphis (April 6, 8 p.m.), San Antonio (April 7, 7 p.m.). Yikes.
