Bucks and Celtics fighting for the top spot in Easter Conference

The Milwaukee Bucks are trying to hold off the Boston Celtics in the last week of the NBA regular season in order to clinch the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Through the Eastern Conference championships, home-court advantage will belong to the team with the highest seed. Compared to the hazy Western Conference, the Eastern Conference playoff rankings are better organized. The Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks are among the five Eastern Conference teams that have already qualified for the playoffs. Two teams are still in the running for sixth place, but the Eastern Play-In Tournament teams are largely decided. With a two-game advantage over the Miami Heat in seventh place, the Brooklyn Nets are presently in sixth place.
