  • Magic 3-1, +22 point differential, 446 total points scored.

  • Celtics 2-1, +/-0 point differential, 325 total points scored.

  • Nets 2-1, +8 point differential, 340 total points scored.

  • First tiebreaker H2H, then point differential, then total points scored in group play, then '22-'23 overall record.

  • If Nets lose to Raptors, Magic clinch (Magic own H2H tiebreaker vs. Celtics, so doesn't matter that more than likely the Celtics will beat the Bulls).

  • If Nets beat Raptors AND Celtics beat Bulls, it's going to point differential.

  • If Celtics win by 21 or less AND Nets win by 13 or less, Magic clinch.

  • If Celtics win by 22 exactly AND score at least 121 points AND Nets win by 14 exactly AND score at least 106 points, Celtics clinch (assuming they score at least 15 or more than the Nets). If Celtics win by 22 exactly but score 120 points or less AND Nets win by 14 exactly but score 105 points or less, Magic clinch.

  • If Celtics win by 23+ AND Nets win by 14 or less, Celtics clinch regardless of how many points they and/or the Nets score. Essentially they need to win by 9 (or more) than the Nets win by for total points scored in group play to not matter.

  • If Nets win AND Celtics lose, Nets clinch, as they own the H2H tiebreaker vs. Magic.

Its gonna be a pretty fun day tomorrow. There will be multiple teams interested in the others results which is different from what were used to this time of the year.

Yeah there's a potential 3-way tie in Eastern Conference Group B as well, with Knicks, Heat, and Bucks all in the mix.

  • Porzingis is out. Holiday is questionable, and White is probable.

  • Caruso and LaVine are probable.

  • Cam Thomas is doubtful. Claxton and Smith Jr. are questionable. Cameron Johnson is probable.

  • Raptors are looking pretty healthy.

  • As someone who is a lifelong Bulls fan but been watching and rooting for Magic this season as they're a great, fun team to watch, tomorrow will be a bit hectic.

  • Can easily see the Celtics blowing out the Bulls and Nets blowing out the Raptors. Can also see the Raptors winning. You never know what you get with them so far this season.
