On Friday evening, the Golden State Warriors will play the Phoenix Suns (in Arizona) for the play-in tournament.
The Warriors most recently beat the Clippers by a score of 126-121 (in Los Angeles).
Kristaps Porzingis was one of the most important players in the victory, finishing with 20 points while shooting 8/12 from the field in 28 minutes of playing time.
That said, the Warriors have listed the 2018 NBA All-Star as questionable for Friday.

The Warriors are the tenth seed after having an up-and-down regular season.
They went 37-45 (and are 16-26 on the road).
The franchise last won a title in 2022 (and is coming off a season where they lost in the second round).
Whoever wins on Friday will be the eighth seed in the 2026 NBA playoffs (and take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round).
