The Raptors and Cavaliers face off in game 82 of the regular season tonight. It’s a contest that shouldn’t mean much to either team. Unless, of course... it does?
What this game means is ultimately quite subjective. It can mean a lot, or it can mean nothing at all depending on what you value. The Raptors are locked into the three seed and will meet the Milwaukee Bucks in round one — that’s that. If the Raps one up the Cavs tonight, the two teams will finish with identical records, but the head-to-head tiebreaker favours Cleveland who will subsequently finish in the two seed.
