It’s nearly impossible to predict which of the four teams the Warriors would face in that scenario, so let’s take a look at all four teams and how the Warriors match up with them.

The Warriors and Lakers, pictured here facing off at Chase Center in February, could also face each other in the first round of the upcoming NBA playoffs. Anything can happen down the NBA’s stretch run. There’s still plenty of basketball to be played, and the Grizzlies are just behind the slumping Warriors in the standings. However, it does look like the Warriors will finish the regular season with the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.

Essentially everything else has gone wrong for the Lakers. Anthony Davis has been injury-prone throughout his career, and that’s been a real problem for the Lakers this season. He’s been limited to 37 games this season. He’ll miss the next few weeks with a foot sprain. He hasn’t been able to develop chemistry with the Lakers’ new additions. When he has played, he’s struggled with his shot, which is a problem for a team with as little shooting as the Lakers.

Because teams are willing to concede him open three-pointers, he chokes the Lakers’ spacing. He’s averaging four turnovers a game, which is right in line with his career average.
