The 3 Seed: Eastern Conference
The 3 seed is up for grabs in both conferences.
In the Eastern Conference, it comes down to the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers, both of whom have home games slated for tonight.
The Sixers come out on top with a win over the Milwaukee Bucks or a Cavaliers loss to the New York Knicks. The Cavaliers get it if both they win and the Sixers lose.
According to our algorithms, the most likely scenario is that both the Sixers (72%) and Cavaliers (75%) win their games, which would mean the Sixers take the 3 see and the Cavaliers finish fourth.
