Celtics have three opponents they beat by that margin. Point I'm making here is putting emphasis on their strong play since Dray's "therapy" sessions. Paul coming back from injury, Klay coming off the bench, Kuminga showing strong signs of improvement. They can be a problem for a first round opponent.
That 65 game rule for end of season awards is really getting interesting with all these injuries cropping up recently...
Donovan Mitchell is expected to miss at least 3 more games which effectively eliminates him.
Devin Booker might not get there. He can only miss 5 more games.
Jalen Brunson suffered what appeared to be a non-contact knee injury (usually a season ending situation) short of 65 games but it sounds like it was just a bruise and he only needs to play 8 more so he'll probably make the threshold.
Steph needs 8 more games so if he misses more than 3 weeks he won't get to 65 either.
Embiid is out of course.
Towns needed 5 more games and it sounds like he won't get them.
If Julius Randle misses 2 more games he won't get to 65.
If Tyrese Haliburton misses 4 more games he won't get to 65.
If Porzingis misses 1 more game he won't get to 65.
Picking those 15 All-NBA team slots at the end of the year may be a lot easier if half the guys who would be up for those spots are disqualified.

Didn't we just settle this a couple weeks ago? IIRC, @Capt. Factorial showed us that the dunk contest is the only part of All-Star weekend that the NBA can't make the players participate in, so what's your plan for the league "doing what's right"?
