As the playoffs approach, the Lakers have solidified their spot and seeding, contrasting with the uncertain situation of the other Western Conference teams. The final day of the regular season will determine their opponent, with the Warriors being the most likely contender. In fact, 75% of scenarios suggest that the Lakers will face the Warriors. However, upsets from the Clippers or Grizzlies could change that outcome. Both Memphis and Dallas seem to be approaching their last games without full effort, adding unpredictability to the playoffs.
In 12 of the 16 scenarios (75%), the Warriors finish as the sixth seed and become the Lakers' opponent. The only scenarios where the Lakers don't play the Warriors involve the Clippers beating Golden State.
The top three seeds are the only things solidified in the West heading into the final day, which means the Lakers won't know their opponent until the results are final.
