The Boston Celtics are in a tight race to secure a wild card spot in the NBA Cup, with the Magic, Knicks, Bulls, and Pistons also vying for the spot. Despite beating the Bulls, the Celtics are still behind Atlanta in East Group C standings. However, there are still scenarios that could allow the Celtics to advance to the knockout rounds. The key factor is the point differential tiebreaker, which could favor the Celtics if certain teams win by specific margins on Tuesday. The Celtics need the Magic to lose by a big margin to the Knicks or the Pistons to lose by a significant margin to the Bucks. If these scenarios play out, the Celtics could secure the wild card spot. Beyond point differential, there are further tiebreakers based on total points scored and last year’s record. The Celtics’ fate will be decided on Tuesday when the Magic face the Knicks and the Bucks play the Pistons. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if the Celtics can secure their spot in the knockout rounds of the NBA Cup.
