Raptors Eye Top-Six Playoff Berth vs. Nets

The Toronto Raptors have an opportunity to clinch a guaranteed spot in the top six of the Eastern Conference playoffs by winning their regular-season finale against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. Their recent 112-95 road loss to the New York Knicks on Friday night saw them drop to sixth place. This defeat means their playoff positioning is not yet secured.

Despite the setback, the Raptors could still potentially finish fifth if they defeat the Nets and both the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic lose their final games. Coach Darko Rajakovic emphasized the need for peak performance and focus in this crucial season-ending match. The Raptors hold a two-three record against the Nets this season, though Brooklyn won their most recent encounter.
