The Golden State Warriors are currently in 10th place in the standings and cannot drop lower. If they win all their remaining games, they can move up to 8th place by surpassing the Lakers. However, a single loss would likely keep them in 10th place. The upcoming game against the Lakers is crucial for both teams' playoff positions.

A loss to the Warriors dramatically increases the odds the Lakers are in the No. 9-10 game. The Warriors would have the head-to-head tiebreaker over LA. If the Warriors win out — which is realistic — they’d be ahead of the Lakers no matter what (and likely push LA to No. 10). https://t.co/kKFTEZT1dS
