Toronto can no longer catch the C's, sho are now guaranteed a top 4 finish.
Today's games of interest are Boston at Milwaukee and Philly at Toronto. We'll know a lot more about how 2 through 5 will shake out after tonight.
Karalis in his game summary suggested that the C's give Horford the night off against Milwaukee. That would certainly affect their chance to win. Last night no Celtice other than Jaylen played more than 30 minutes. And the Celtics will get some pre-playoff rest during the play-in games. So they don't need to rest everyone, but at his age maybe resting Horford is advisable.
