If the playoff started today, the Indiana Pacers would face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round. However, we are still six games away and Indiana is currently trending in the wrong direction.
According to PlayoffStatus.com, the Pacers now have a 51% of missing the playoffs. Before their loss to the Raptors, it was only 43% and a win on Friday would have given then just a 28% chance of missing out on the postseason.
For what it is worth, the New York Knicks beat the Miami Heat to put Miami in a tie with the Pacers for seventh place, but the Heat hold the tiebreaker.
