Sunday, Apr. 8: Atlanta at Boston, 1:00 p.m. ET

The last time these two teams faced each other, Terry Rozier dropped 31 points.

The Celtics will get two days off before Atlanta comes in. The Hawks have been part of the tank since the start, and a game against the Celtics helps their case even more.

Next: Injuries are ruining everything

On the same day, the Raptors will face the Orlando Magic. They wrap up their season against Detroit and Miami, easily winnable games.

For the Celtics to take over the top spot in the East — again, something none of us saw coming after the injuries Boston suffered — they need a couple breaks. The fortunate thing for them is they can make their own break on Wednesday.
