With only a few games remaining on the schedule, it's unlikely that the Atlanta Hawks will catch the Toronto Raptors in the standings. Toronto has a healthy five-game lead and quite a few things would have to break wrong for them to lose the long-standing hold they've had on the Eastern Conference's second playoff seed. For one thing, the Hawks have just seven games left, two less than the Raptors. For another, two of those seven come against the very team they'd love to catch.
Toronto takes on Atlanta at the ACC tonight and will meet them again down in Georgia on April 7th.
