In a thrilling turn of events, LeBron James and Stephen Curry are set to face off in the Play-In tournament for the playoffs after the Phoenix Suns secured a victory over a shorthanded Clippers team. Currently ranked at No. 9 and No. 10 seeds respectively for the Play-In, the Lakers and Warriors will have to battle it out for a chance to secure a spot in the playoffs.
The path to the playoffs for both teams won’t be easy, as they would need to win a game against each other in the Play-In before potentially facing the loser of Phoenix/Sacramento for a spot in the playoffs. Both teams are aiming to move up to at least the No. 8 seed to potentially avoid facing the Denver Nuggets in the first round.
The Lakers, who were in the Play-In tournament last season, are hoping to replicate their success and advance to the Western Conference Finals. Their matchup against the Warriors promises to be an intense showdown with both teams fighting for a spot in the playoffs.
In another exciting playoff matchup, the No. 4 seed Clippers and No. 5 seed Mavericks are set to meet in the first round. This marks the third playoff matchup between the two teams in five years, adding to the rivalry between the two teams. A healthy return by Kawhi Leonard could make this series a must-watch for basketball fans, as both teams look to advance in the playoffs.
