Today's match in Canada is extremely important for both teams. The Toronto Raptors need the win and if it happens, they can pass the Chicago Bulls and take the fifth position, thus, having control of the court in the playoffs. In case of defeat, you can see the Cleveland Cavaliers pull over again. For the Atlanta Hawks, the confrontation is even more decisive. The team led by Trae Young can touch both the Raptors and the Cavs in case of triumph in Canada. If he loses, he could be passed by the Charlotte Honets and Brooklyn Nets, who both have one less win. Thus, getting in a bad position in the play-in.
The Toronto Raptors lost in their last game. Defeat for the Miami Heat by 114 to 109, which leads the Eastern Conference with 51 wins and 28 losses. But the Canadian team's recent record is good. He won seven of the last 10 games, which allowed him to pass the Cleveland Cavaliers and enter the direct zone of the playoffs. Another point is that the team led by Nick Nurse still has great chances to pass the Chicago Bulls, who are one position above and have the same campaign: 45-33.
The Hawks are having a great time in the final stretch of the regular season. That's five straight wins against the Golden State Warriors, Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets, direct opponents in the NBA play-in positions.
