The Celtics left the Play-in zone after several weeks of remaining in it. In any case, the difference between the balances of the 8th to 11th place in the East is almost nil: Toronto Raptors 21-19 (8th), Washington Wizards 22-21 (9th) and New York Knicks 22-21 (10th). That means that Celtics, now having a 22-22 record, a win puts them back in the play-in zone.

On the Pelicans side, their loss to the Brooklyn Nets once again took them away from 10th place and, therefore, from the Play-in zone, after the victories against the Timberwolves and the Clippers had brought them very close to it. Currently, the Portland Trail Blazers with a record of 17-25 are the last ones who would be going to the postseason, however, the Pelicans with a balance of 16-27 could perfectly take that place from them and a victory in Boston would put them very close to achieving it.
