Reevaluating the state of the Eastern Conference

The Eastern Conference is in a fragile state right now, with all kinds of legitimate teams suffering debilitating injuries. John Wall is missing from the Wizards and Kevin Love is out for the Cavaliers. With how close the East is right now, those injuries could completely change what the standings will look like come playoff time.

One thing we can say with confidence is that the Boston Celtics and the Raptors are easy favourites to finish as the top seed. The race between them could not be closer, and should go right down to the end of the season.
