In the East, the most significant intrigue includes who ends up in the leading 6. At the minute, the Orlando Magic win a three-team tiebreaker over the Indiana Pacers and Philadelphia 76ers by virtue of winning their department. And after that the Pacers have the head-to-head tiebreaker edge on the 76ers, providing the 6th seed.
The guess here is that all 3 groups win on Sunday. The Magic have the most difficult video game in hosting the second-place Milwaukee Bucks, who simply squashed Orlando 117-99 a few days ago. This video game will be in Orlando, where the Magic have actually gone 28-12 (versus 18-23 on the roadway). The Bucks will likewise lack super star Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf stress) once again.
Milwaukee does need to win or hope the New York Knicks lose to the Chicago Bulls, who are locked into the play-in competition and ninth seed, in order to clinch the No. 2 area in the Eastern Conference.
The host Pacers are playing an Atlanta Hawks group locked into the 10th seed, so they will not be addressing complete bore. And after that the host 76ers have the 32-49 Brooklyn Nets, who have absolutely nothing to bet.
Eventually, search for the Magic to take advantage of the tiebreaker here and get the No. 5 seed, with Indiana ending up 6th.
In the West, the most significant concern includes who’s fortunate enough to prevent the 9-10 play-in video game,
