NBA fans, the final day of this 66-game, lockout-shortened season is here and there are 13 games on the slate. Today’s NBA Game of the Day is the first and only contest of the season between the Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks—two teams that still have something to play for.
Dallas currently sits in the seventh spot in the Western Conference, one game behind the sixth-place Denver Nuggets. Since the Mavericks own the tiebreaker, they can move into the sixth spot with a win tonight and a Nuggets loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Hawks are locked in the fifth spot and will face the fourth-seeded Boston Celtics in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Whether that series will begin in Atlanta or Boston will be determined by the results of tonight’s games. If the Hawks defeat the Mavericks, Atlanta will earn home-court advantage against Boston no matter what the Celtics do tonight. However, if Atlanta loses and Boston gets a victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, the Celtics and Hawks will finish the season with identical 39-27 records. In that case, since the Celtics won the head-to-head matchups 2-1, the series would open in Boston by virtue of the tiebreaker.
