Ever since the Warriors<\/a>‘ dynasty concluded, they’ve had a rocky relationship with postseason play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Golden State has made the playoffs in three of the past six years, including a championship in 2021-22.<\/p>\n

This year, however, the team is destined to finish under .500, with the play-in tournament being the only shot at a postseason berth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With Stephen Curry now 38 years old and Draymond Green at 36, the Warriors are far from their championship-winning days. This is, of course, without mentioning the lack of Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But, the Warriors still have a shot to make noise. How?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Warriors playoff scenarios 2026\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Warriors have officially clinched their spot in the 2026 play-in tournament, meaning they’ll have a chance to win two straight games for a shot at the NBA playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even if the Warriors win their last three games, they can still only reach 40 wins, which would result in no better than the No. 9 seed. This guarantees that Golden State will play in the 9 vs. 10 matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Should they manage to win that matchup and also beat the loser of the 7 vs. 8 matchup, the Warriors will clinch the No. 8 seed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through April 7, the Warriors currently stand at No. 10 in the conference. They have clinched a spot in the play-in tournament with no other team able to pass them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 9 vs. 10 matchup has the Warriors presumably matching up with the Clippers<\/a> or Trail Blazers<\/a>. Should they manage a win, they may also have to contend with the Suns<\/a> or even the Timberwolves<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If the Warriors do use the play-in to their advantage, they’ll match up with the conference’s number one seed. The favorites in this case are the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>, but the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> are still in the race for a regular-season conference title.\u00a0<\/p>\n
