Back in early November when the 2014-15 NBA season was still young, the Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Orlando Magic on a buzzer-beater by forward Tobias Harris. With the Magic not off to the best of starts, the 76ers will have more than a puncher’s chance at getting a win here in Orlando.

Coming into the 2014-15 season, the Charlotte Hornets were seen as a team that could surprise in the Eastern Conference. But off to just a 4-11 start, the newly re-branded Hornets are a shell of what they were supposed to be. In the preseason, one of the 76ers' two wins came against the Hornets. If they make it this far without their first win, then this game will provide an excellent chance at ending that losing streak.

When the Boston Celtics come to Philadelphia on Dec. 15, the 76ers will have a legitimate shot at getting their first win. Despite losing to the Celtics 101-90 earlier this season, the young 76ers will without a doubt be ready for this rivalry game.

Stan Van Gundy and his Detroit Pistons have been one of the bigger disappointments in the NBA so far. With the team off to a slow start and turmoil among some of the players, the Pistons are a team the 76ers could easily beat for their first win of the season.

The earliest game in which the 76ers could get their first win of the season is against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Dec. 3. At the time, the Timberwolves will be in a stretch of games against top Western Conference teams such as the Trail Blazers, Clippers, Rockets, Spurs and Warriors. With the 76ers squeezed in between, the Timberwolves may take a night off, providing the 76ers with a great shot at finally getting their first win.
