Sacramento is 2-1 against the Suns this season. If Phoenix wins at Sacramento April 13 to end the regular season and the teams finish with the same record, the Suns will hold the tiebreaker based on a better division record. If the Kings win and take the season series, they will hold the tiebreaker if the teams finish tied in the standings.

The Suns have been mediocre, but have recently bested the Bucks and Cavs, so the Celtics should be prepared to play, especially if a key player sits.
