Wizards With Last Chance to Advance to the NBA Playoffs
The Wizards play the Indians Pacers tonight for their last opportunity to advance to the NBA Playoffs.
While the Wizards were hoping to make it into the NBA Playoffs on Tuesday by beating the Boston Celtics, many were hoping for a loss so that they could be in the position they find themselves now– an opportunity to make it in as the 8th seed to go up against the #1 seed Philadelphia 76ers rather than the #2 seed Brooklyn Nets.
The Pacers dominated their play-in game against the Charlotte Hornets on their way to this elimination game, while the Wizards lost a close one to the Boston Celtics.
The winner of this game will advance to the NBA Playoffs as the 8 seed to play the Philadelphia 76ers– the highest seeded team in the eastern conference.
The game will be played at Capital One Arena in DC at 8pm and can be watched live on TNT.
