I feel pretty confident in saying that the Raptors have the division after tonight. Assume they get wins over Milwaukee twice, plus Philly and Detroit, and then they only need one more win in their remaining 3 (Indiana, New York twice), or one Brooklyn loss in their last 8 games. It would take an epic collapse for them to miss out on the division now.
They need to get healthy though, a hobbled Amir and Lowry in the playoffs won't get them far. I'd rather that they rest the guys even if it means risking Chicago passing them in the standings.
