The NBA Playoffs are right around the corner with approximately a quarter of the season remaining.
The Toronto Raptors sit atop the Eastern Conference, holding a half-game lead over the Boston Celtics, as the battle for Eastern Conference supremacy figures to go right down to the wire. A brief look at Toronto’s schedule shows a relatively smooth path to the finish line, albeit with enough hurdles mixed in to cause issues if their collective play falters.
Of the remaining 22 games, Toronto will face both Cleveland (twice on the road) and Boston twice (once at home). Throw in visits from Houston & Oklahoma City in March, two teams who are also looking to dethrone a perennial conference bully, and there are plenty of pivotal moments and matchups to take note of.
