🏀 Zach Cohen’s NBA Report
All 30 teams are in action on Friday — and playoff positioning is on the line.
With only two games left after tonight, the standings remain tight in both conferences.
Key matchups:
Cavaliers-Hawks:
Cleveland can still climb to No. 3, while Atlanta can lock up the Southeast Division and a top-six seed with a win.
Knicks-Raptors:
New York is closing in on the No. 3 seed. Toronto is trying to stay out of the Play-In — and this could be a preview of a first-round matchup.
Clippers-Blazers:
No. 8 vs. No. 9 in the West. A Clippers win locks them into the 7-8 Play-In game; a Portland win pushes the decision to Sunday.
Also worth watching:
The Rockets (8 straight wins) look to keep climbing against Minnesota in the second Prime Video game.
Warning:
OKC has clinched the No. 1 seed and is resting key players vs. Denver.
