The Nets finish off the regular season with a visit to the Fleet Center in Boston. The Nets need a win or a Cleveland loss (in Toronto) to make the playoffs. They could also move up to the 7 seed with a win and a Philadelphia loss (against Atlanta). The Celtics have clinched the Atlantic Division and the 3 seed, and don't have anything to play for.
