The Golden State Warriors are positioning themselves well as they head into the critical final weeks of the NBA regular season. With other Western Conference rivals faltering, the Warriors have managed to maintain the sixth seed, edging out the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Clippers. Their upcoming matchup against the Miami Heat is crucial, especially for star player Steph Curry, dealing with a pelvic contusion, as he aims to return to help secure pivotal wins.

Golden State benefits significantly from an easier schedule ahead, with five of their remaining 11 games against teams also vying for playoff seeding. However, they must navigate tiebreakers carefully, having lost season series against the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers, and Clippers. Their performance in the final stretch will be key in determining their playoff positioning.
