Hawks can clinch a playoff spot AND the Southeast Division title with a win tonight vs.

Tonight's Hawks-Cavaliers game is massive for Atlanta. A win clinches both a playoff spot and the Southeast Division title for a team that has been the hottest in the East, going 16-2 over their last 18 games.

But the Hawks can't breathe easy. The Toronto Raptors are just a half-game back and own the tiebreaker, meaning Atlanta needs to keep winning to stay in the guaranteed playoff picture. The Sixers are also lurking, only a half-game behind the Hawks with Philly holding the tiebreaker against Atlanta.

The East's 5-through-10 seeds are a complete mess. Hawks, Raptors, Sixers, Hornets, Magic, and Heat are all within striking distance of each other. Three days remain in the regular season, and the difference between the 5-seed and the play-in could come down to a single game.
