Important NBA Games Today

Heat at Raptors

Rematch of the Raptors taking care of the Heat a couple of days ago. According to ESPN analytics, this is the fourth most important game remaining in the season. The Raptors want the 5th seed in the Eastern Conference while the Heat want as high of a play-in seed as possible and that is the 8th seed.

Celtics at Knicks (Game of the Day)

This game is huge. This is Jayson Tatum’s first game vs Knicks since the ACL tear in last year’s playoff series. No Jaylen Brown for the Celtics. If the Celtics win, they clinch the 2 seed but if the Knicks win, they keep their hopes alive for the 2 seed. Big story lines tonight so should be a good game.

76ers at Rockets

Is the 76ers season over after the Joel Embiid illness turned bad. It could be if he doesn’t come back soon. This is the most important game of the regular season left. The Rockets want the 3 seed in the Western Conference while the 76ers want to escape the play-in tournament and get a top 6 seed.
