Warriors Face Play-In Rematch Against Clippers
13 Apr
Summary
- Warriors locked into 10th place, opening play-in on road Wednesday.
- Clippers vying for 8th seed; a loss means a play-in against Warriors.
- Curry and Porzingis struggled in recent loss; team chemistry issues noted.

The Golden State Warriors (37-44) have secured 10th place in the Western Conference, guaranteeing they will start the play-in tournament on the road against the ninth seed. This crucial game is scheduled for Wednesday. Their potential opponent, the Los Angeles Clippers (41-40), are currently tied with the Portland Trail Blazers for eighth place. The Clippers aim to avoid the 9-10 matchup, which would pit them against the Warriors, by winning their final regular-season game and hoping the Sacramento Kings defeat the Trail Blazers.
As it stands, an eighth seed would secure home-court advantage in the first play-in game and face the seventh seed, with the winner earning the final playoff spot and a series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The loser of the eighth-seed game would need to be defeated twice to be eliminated, whereas the ninth-seed team is eliminated after a single loss. If the Clippers fall to the ninth seed, they would host the Warriors in a must-win scenario.
