The Eastern Conference playoffs will run through Boston.
The Celtics have clinched the top overall seed in the conference when the postseason starts in April. Boston clinched by building an 11-game lead for first place ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks, who have 11 contests left in the regular season.
Boston and Milwaukee meet one last time during the regular season April 9, but the Celtics own a 2-1 lead in their head-to-head matchups. The Celtics secure home-court advantage thanks to a conference record tiebreaker.
