Breaking down the Raptors’ remaining NBA schedule vs. other East teams in hunt for play-in berth

The end of the NBA regular season is fast approaching and the playoff picture is becoming clearer in the Eastern Conference.

Three teams (Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers) have solidified their positions at the top of the pack with three weeks left in the regular season. Six teams — including the Toronto Raptors — are battling for four spots in the play-in tournament to determine the final two berths in the post-season.

Positioning is important — the seventh- and eighth-place team gets two chances to win a playoff spot. The higher seed hosts the game between the seventh and eighth seed.
