NBA Playoff Race Update: Bucks Back on the Bubble?
Our updated playoff odds include a look at the sliding Bucks and the surging Blazers. Which other teams' postseason chances changed dramatically this week?

Eastern Conference - Sure Things

(1) Toronto Raptors (53-19, clinched)
(2) Boston Celtics (48-23, clinched)
(3) Cleveland Cavaliers (42-29, 100.0%)
(4) Philadelphia 76ers (41-30, 100.0%)
(5) Indiana Pacers (41-31, 100.0%)
(6) Washington Wizards (40-31, 100.0%)
(7) Miami Heat (39-33, 100.0%)

The Raptors and Celtics remain the only two teams to have clinched playoff berths so far in the Eastern Conference, but there are now five other squads with a 100.0% chance of making it, according to our algorithms.

Teams three through eight are only separated by five games, though, so expect a lot of shuffling among them over the last few weeks of the season.
