To get to No. 6, the Celtics need to win out while the Knicks need to lose out. To fall below seventh place, the Celtics need to lose out while either Indiana or Charlotte wins out.
That means there is little competitive value that comes with the Celtics going all-out with their full roster especially if any players are injured or dealing with lingering pain. Boston coach Brad Stevens said they have yet to discuss that course of action as a staff; they plan to meet sometime Thursday to hash out those logistics.

The Trail Blazers took care of business against an inferior opponent. Their core players even got some much-needed early rest in advance of the most important game of the season, too.
Portland blew out the Cleveland Cavaliers 141-105 at Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday night, finishing a gut-check road trip 5-1 to help turn its fortunes around. The 36-point win is the Blazers second-largest this season, behind only a 48-point romp over the Oklahoma City Thunder in March.
