"The Raptors will have to win at least two of their three games against the Miami Heat and New York Knicks. Even if the 76ers only beat the Pacers and Bucks and lose to the Spurs and Rockets, just taking care of business against the Nets won't be enough for the Raptors to finish with a better record."
"Beating the Knicks has been absolutely impossible for the Raptors this season. They already fell to the Knicks four times this season, and all games ended with at least a 16-point margin."
"The Raptors have a much better chance of beating the Heat. They did it twice in December, and the Heat lost seven of their last ten games."
"Even if they do what they're supposed to do—beat the Nets and win at least two out of three games against Miami and New York—the 76ers could spoil everything by beating the Spurs and/or Rockets."
The Toronto Raptors are currently in seventh place after a loss to the Boston Celtics. They need to win at least two of their last three games against the Miami Heat and New York Knicks to surpass the 76ers in the standings. The 76ers hold the tiebreaker due to their division record. The Raptors have struggled against the Knicks this season, while they have a better chance against the Heat. The final playoff spot will be highly competitive, with both teams needing to perform well in their remaining games.
