WARRIORS FINISH REGULAR SEASON WITH 46 WINS
The Warriors finished the regular season with 46 wins, a two-game improvement from last season. Due to a highly competitive Western Conference, they are in 10th place with that win total despite a sixth-place finish the year prior. The Dubs will need to win two road games to make the playoffs and they've been significantly better away from home (25-16) than at Chase Center (21-20).
PLAY-IN MATCHUP VS. KINGS
With the Warriors, Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers all winning, the Dubs will head to Sacramento to face the Kings for the first of two potential Play-In games on Tuesday. The Warriors must win two Play-In games to enter the playoffs as the eighth seed. Their second hypothetical Play-In game would be against the loser of the Lakers vs. Pelicans matchup. If they are able to make the playoffs, they would face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder.
