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

Because the Clippers<\/a> and Trail Blazers<\/a> still have one game remaining against one another, one of these teams will reach 41 wins. Even if the Warriors win their last four games, they can still only reach 40 wins. 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

The 9 vs. 10 matchup has the Warriors presumably matching up with the Clippers or Trail Blazers. 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
