What a weird year. Even at .500, the Celtics are currently in 6th place in the East, just one game out of 4th place. Of course they are also 1.5 games ahead of the two teams tied for 9th place. So a few games one way or the other could propel the Celtics into either hosting a first round series or finding themselves in the play-in game or worse.
Knicks lose a wild one in OT to the Sixers.
Celtics win one game, and jump to 6th in the East, just one game behind Atlanta for 4th.
