2024 NBA Playoff Picture: Western Conference
The Warriors seeding situation entering the final week
*Currently: 10th and can’t go lower
*Go 4-0 and they leap the Lakers for 9th. Can get to eighth if they go 4-0 and Kings or Pelicans (who they play) go 1-3.
*Lose once = Very likely 10thhttps://t.co/EdivwAe3CW

There are no changes at the top of the Eastern Conference, with the Boston Celtics at No. 1. The Milwaukee Bucks are at No. 2, but a recent four-game losing streak has jeopardized their seeding.
The Orlando Magic are the No. 3 seed via their tiebreaker with the No. 4 New York Knicks.
The most interesting team in the East is the No. 7 Philadelphia 76ers. With Joel Embiid back in the lineup, the 76ers have the talent to reach the Eastern Conference Finals and challenge Boston.
