The Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers will face off on the final day of the NBA regular season. The game starts at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT on Sunday, April 14. It will be the Clippers’ final regular season home game at the Crypto.com Arena, as the team will play games at the brand-new Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, starting in 2024-2025.

The Rockets are eliminated from postseason contention. However, the team has taken many steps in the right direction in year one under Ime Udoka. Led by Alperen Sengün and Jalen Green, the Rockets could potnetially leap into the Play-In Tournament next season. Meanwhile, the Clippers have qualified for the playoffs for the fifth time in six seasons. When healthy, the Clippers can beat any team in the NBA in a seven-game series. However, keeping their star players on the court has been challenging in recent years.

Washington Wizards vs. Boston Celtics live stream: how to watch the NBA online
Jayston Tatum dribbles a ball down the side.

There is one game left for every NBA team in the regular season. One of those matchups pits Jordan Poole and the Washington Wizards against Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics. The game tips off at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on Sunday, April 14. The Wizards will play the Celtics inside the TD Garden in Boston.

It's been a disastrous season for the Wizards. Washington has the second-worst record in the league. Finding a franchise player in the upcoming NBA Draft will be the top priority this offseason. On the other side of the spectrum are the Boston Celtics, the best team in the NBA. The Celtics have been in cruise control for weeks as the No. 1 seed in the East. The road to the NBA Finals in the Eastern Conference goes through Boston.

The Bulls have locked up the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference, meaning they will host their Play-In Tournament game against the No. 10 Atlanta Hawks. For Chicago to advance to the postseason, they must beat the Hawks and defeat the loser of No. 7 versus No. 8 matchup. For the Knicks, the team has clinched a top-six playoff spot. The Knicks can reach No. 2 if the Milwaukee Bucks lose two games. However, the likely outcome is that the Knicks finish as the No. 3 seed.

The Raptors will not be playing in the postseason. Instead, Toronto will spend this offseason figuring out how to build around Scottie Barnes, R.J. Barrett, and Quickley.
