[NBA] What determines the Celtics getting a higher seed than the Bucks and 76ers when they’ve each got the same amount of wins and losses?

1. Might wanna check r/nba but division record and head to head are both factors. Idk what the numbers come out to right now tho

3. (1) Head-to-head won-lost percentage

   (2) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division

   (3) Division won-lost percentage for teams in the same division

   (4) Conference won-lost percentage

   (5) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, own conference

   (6) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, other conference

   (7) Net Points, all games

4. Because Boston is just the best. /s

   Seriously tho, I think the tiebreaker is head to head (What team has a better record when playing against the other tied teams)
