Join us Thursday at 7:30 p.m. for live news and analysis when the Warriors face the Lakers in Los Angeles as LeBron James remains sidelined.
The Warriors (53-24) take a Magic Number of 3 into the game and need a combination of three Warriors wins or Denver losses to clinch the top seed in the Western Conference. Golden State has just five games remaining in the regular season.
The Lakers (35-43) have long been eliminated from the playoff hunt and will finish their highly disappointing season with no LeBron James as the L.A. star will miss the final six games while nursing a groin injury.
