Raptors must wait until the final day to learn who they’ll face in the first round

The Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers will go to the last day of the NBA regular season before deciding the Raptors’ opponent in the first round of the playoffs. And there is no chance for the Raptors to get homecourt advantage next weekend.

Philadelphia’s 133-120 win over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday pushed the issue of which team will finish fourth in the Eastern Conference to Sunday. Boston and Philadelphia are tied with 50-31 records, with the Celtics holding the tiebreaker.

Philadelphia hosts Detroit on Sunday afternoon and Boston plays at Memphis at 7 p.
