Do the Celtics want to win tonight?

If they win, they get the 2 seed and play one of the playin teams.
If they lose, they face the Bulls in the first round.
Would think they'd rather face the Bulls then any of the playin winners, which could be Brooklyn or Atlanta.
Or is home court in 2nd round more valuable?
Line says Boston wants to win, but I'm not certain.

No one wants to play the Nets. That’s why the Bucks rested every player with a pulse today.

The commissioner should fine these teams. A lot of shenaningans happening with teams playing to lose.

Celtics scenarios:

Win = 2-seed vs Nets or Cavaliers

Loss + Sixers loss = 3-seed vs Bulls

Loss + Sixers win = 4-seed vs Raptors

Based on the current score Boston wants to win

Looks like Memphis doesn't want to win. Must be beneficial to them.

If the Celtics lose and philly wins, philly is a huge favorite, Boston ends up in the 4 seed and they have to play Toronto. Horford and Brown aren't vaccinated so they don't want that. Toronto is playing great too.

Boston wants to win and get the 2 seed, losing would only make sense if philly, a big favorite lost, and that's not happening.

The Bulls aren't going to the conference finals either.
