The Golden State Warriors have significantly improved their chances for a playoff spot, winning 13 of their last 16 road games and completing a successful 4-1 road trip. This streak has placed them two games ahead of the Houston Rockets for the 10th seed, effectively three due to owning the tiebreaker. With both teams having eight games left, the Warriors' recent performance, including Houston's loss in Dallas, has bolstered their playoff position. The Warriors are now three games up on the Rockets, effectively four up with seven games left, with the opportunity to further solidify their lead in an upcoming match in Houston. Draymond Green commented on the importance of the next game against the Rockets, suggesting it could end Houston's playoff hopes.

Standings wise: Warriors now three up on the Rockets plus the tiebreaker. So four up with seven games left and the chance to essentially put it away in Houston on Thursday and focus on climbing above the 10th spot not slipping below it. https://t.co/OmIEaX7ArC
