Lakers First Round Playoff Opponent Scenarios Entering Final Day of Regular Season
The Los Angeles Lakers clinched the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference playoff picture on Friday evening after taking down the Houston Rockets. With this fact, the Lakers will be hosting the first-round playoff series with home-court advantage.
But who they will be playing remains very much up in the air as we head into the final day of the regular season. Due to how close the race out West is, the Lakers essentially have three options: the Golden State Warriors, the Denver Nuggets, and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
On Sunday, the Warriors will be facing off against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Timberwolves will play against the Utah Jazz, and the Denver Nuggets will face the Houston Rockets.
Warriors: Warriors beat Clippers, Wolves beat Jazz, Nuggets beat Rockets. There is also a scenario where Golden State would play the Lakers by beating the Clippers, having the Wolves still beat the Jazz, and the Rockets beat the Nuggets.
