The Eastern Conference playoff race is about as wide open as it gets at this very late stage of the season. Other than the top 2 seeds, there is really nothing else set in stone. The other 6 teams could very well change spots numerous times in the final few games of the regular season, which is going to add a playoff quality to each of the games that the teams involved have yet to play. We have a good one lined up for Thursday night when the Toronto Raptors, who will finish in 2nd place in the East, head to Atlanta to face a Hawks team that are desperately trying to cling to the #3 seed. They are involved in an incredibly tight division race that could push them down as far as the #6 seed if they falter in the final few games of the season. This is a huge game as far as playoff implications go, and you can wager on it at MyBookie.
