Western Conference Play-In Standings: Latest Update
The Golden State Warriors enter the final stretch with nine regular-season games remaining. They improved to 35-38 after beating the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night.
Five Western Conference teams have been eliminated. That guarantees Golden State a spot in the play-in tournament. In the Western Conference Play-In Standings: Latest Update, the Warriors sit 10th.
Remaining schedule and standings
Golden State has six home games left. They face the Clippers, Lakers, Spurs, Rockets, Cavaliers, and Nuggets.
The Warriors are 1.5 games behind Portland. They trail the Los Angeles Clippers by two games.
| Team | Record | Games Remaining | Home Games | Games vs Eliminated Teams |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Golden State Warriors | 35-38 | 9 | 6 | 3 |
| Portland Trail Blazers | 37-37 | 8 | 5 | 4 |
| Los Angeles Clippers | 37-36 | 9 | 5 | 4 |
| Phoenix Suns | 40-33 | 9 | 3 | 4 |
Golden State Warriors outlook
The team holds a narrow margin for movement in the standings. A few wins could shift seeding before the regular season ends.
Three of their remaining games come against teams already eliminated. Home-court heavy scheduling could help their push.
Portland Trail Blazers update
Portland stands at 37-37 with eight games left. They have a tiebreaker advantage over Golden State.
The Blazers have won five of six. They also play the Clippers twice more.
Los Angeles Clippers position
The Clippers are 37-36 with nine games remaining. They play Portland twice and Golden State once.
Los Angeles holds a favorable head-to-head edge. Beating Golden State would likely secure their tiebreaker.
Phoenix Suns status
Phoenix sits at 40-33 and appears in solid position. They lead the Clippers by three games.
That cushion makes it unlikely the Suns will drop into the play-in range.
Potential play-in path for Golden State
If standings hold, Golden State would visit Portland in the first play-in game. A loss in that game would end their season.
A win would send them to face the loser of Suns vs. Clippers. Winning that contest would produce an eighth seed.
An eighth seed likely draws a tough first-round opponent. Oklahoma City or San Antonio would present difficult matchups.
