The Boston Celtics are completely locked into their spot as the number two seed in the Eastern Conference, but their games are far form meaningless. They still have to think about getting such a young and unsettled roster ready for the playoffs, and who they play in the first round could make all the difference.
The Milwaukee Bucks, Miami Heat and Washington Wizards are still all possible candidates in the first round, and what happens against the Wizards tonight could help settle a lot. The Wizards are on the verge of falling too far behind as the eight seed, with the Bucks having a game and a half lead and the Heat having half a game advantage.
