Currently the No. 6 seed in the West, the Warriors could still finish anywhere between No. 5 and No. 9.
As the Warriors enter the NBA’s final weekend, there is still a lot left to determine in terms of playoff positioning.
The Dubs head to Sacramento on Friday as the No. 6 seed in the West but could finish anywhere from the No. 5 seed all the way down to No. 9, depending on how this weekend goes. The NBA’s defending champs will finish their regular season at Portland on Sunday afternoon after the road game at Sacramento, giving the Warriors a chance to try and find their rhythm away from Chase Center. The Dubs carry a 9-30 road record into this weekend, making them one of only four teams in the NBA to lose 30 or more road games this season. The other three are the league’s three-worst teams: Houston, Detroit and San Antonio.
Could there be some strategizing about potential opponents heading into this weekend? Teams obviously want to avoid the play-in tournament, but the new-look Phoenix Suns, with Kevin Durant added next to Devin Booker, are locked into the No. 4 seed and may be a foe other teams try to avoid. Two wins would guarantee the Warriors a top-six spot and would allow them to miss the play-in entirely. Any loss opens the door for others, though.Western Conference 5-9 seeds and remaining games: Friday at Sacramento, Sunday at Portland: Friday vs. New York, Sunday at Minnesota
