The NBA’s regular season concludes a week from Sunday and there are still a fair amount of things to be sorted in the Eastern Conference standings.
Entering Sunday’s NBA slate, the Celtics sit 1.5 games back of the Milwaukee Bucks for the No. 1 seed. Their chances of getting the top spot aren’t too great as Basketball Reference gives them a 31.6 percent chance of getting the No. 1 seed. But it practically guarantees that Boston will finish with a top-two seed, giving it a 99.1 percent chance to finish above third place in the Eastern Conference.
