As the regular season of the NBA comes to a close, the Golden State Warriors are currently holding the sixth seed in the Western Conference standings with a record of 42-38. However, there are still many possible scenarios for where the Warriors may finish in the final standings, with their seeding ranging from fifth to ninth place.

If the Warriors win their final two games, they could potentially move up to the fifth seed, overtaking the Portland Trail Blazers who currently hold that position. On the other hand, if the Warriors lose both of their remaining games, they could fall as low as the ninth seed, meaning they would miss out on the playoffs entirely.
Despite the uncertainty of their final seed, the Warriors are most likely to finish in sixth place, setting up a potential playoff preview game against the Sacramento Kings. Depending on how the other games unfold, the Warriors could theoretically play any one of the top four teams in the West.
Here is the current order of the top teams in the Western Conference:
- Denver Nuggets (52-28)
- Memphis Grizzlies (50-30)
- Sacramento Kings (48-32)
- Phoenix Suns (45-35)
- Los Angeles Clippers (42-38)
- Golden State Warriors (42-38)
- Los Angeles Lakers (41-39)
- New Orleans Pelicans (41-39)
- Minnesota Timberwolves (40-40)
- Oklahoma City Thunder (39-42)
- Dallas Mavericks (38-42)
The tight nature of the bottom half of the standings means that this weekend's games should be intense, with many teams still in the running for a playoff spot. As a result, it's difficult to predict where the Warriors will finish in the Western Conference standings.
Overall, the Warriors have the potential to make some noise in the postseason, led by their superstar guard Stephen Curry. Despite their up-and-down season, they have shown that they can compete with some of the top teams in the league. So, whether they end up in fifth or ninth place, the Warriors will undoubtedly bring their A-game to the playoffs
