3 play-in scenarios the Warriors should want to see fall into place
There’s no denying that it’s been a tough season for the Golden State Warriors. After kicking it off with two blowout losses to top-tier Eastern Conference teams, Golden State has managed to find their footing.
The Warriors were thriving, but when Stephen Curry went down with a tailbone injury, the Dubs lost seven of eight. Curry did play for a few of them, but he didn’t quite seem 100 percent. Then, Curry went on a parabolic run.
The Golden State Warriors are in a good position when it comes to making the play-in tournament. Ideally, this is how the last month will unfold.
Averaging over 40 points per game for a few-week stretch, Curry is now the league’s No. 1 scorer, seeking his second scoring title.

Now a top-ten seed, unless the Dubs collapse, they’ll make the play-in tourney. With a handful of winnable games left on the schedule, here are three ways they should want the last month to close out.
