With just a handful of games left for most teams, the race for the post-season is coming down to the wire.
In the east, the Indiana Pacers have taken a step toward the post-season with a 123-109 win over a LeBron-less Cleveland Cavaliers.
With the win, the Pacers stay a half-game ahead of 8th placed Detroit in the Conference standings and pull 3 games ahead of Chicago.
Detroit also solidified its chances for the playoffs with a 108-104 win over Orlando.
Chicago needs a victory on Friday over Miami to keep its slim playoff hopes alive.
