NBA Prediction and Analysis for 04/11/2024
In their last game of the season, the Warriors will visit the miserly Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night to move out of the top ten. A game behind the Sacramento Kings for second place, the Warriors (44–35) are tied for ninth place in the NBA with three games left despite their hot streak of eight victories in a row. Los Angeles Lakers (45–35) are in ninth place.
According to gambling headlines, the Warriors need to finish in seventh place. After a disappointing start to the season, the Warriors improved their playoff chances with a 134-120 win against the Lakers in Tuesday’s game in Los Angeles. If an NBA club wants to make the playoffs, it needs to win just one game in the 7-8 game or two games in the 9-10 game.
You can usually make it deep from the play-in round. Last year, the Miami Heat lost the first play-in game and were thus eliminated from the playoffs. Bookmakers for NBA games had them in the Finals after they won the second play-in game. On the other hand, the Denver Nuggets beat them.
On Tuesday, Portland’s loss against the Pelicans at home extended its losing streak to 12 games in a row. Scoot Henderson’s career-high 19 points and 15 assists and Deandre Ayton’s 30 points and 13 boards helped Portland triumph.
As a rookie, Henderson established a new record for the squad regarding assists per game. For the previous record of fourteen, Bill Walton and Kelvin Ransey shared it with the Seattle SuperSonics on February 1, 1975, and the Denver Nuggets on February 13, 1981, respectively. Also, in 41 minutes, Henderson had eight turnovers. Even yet, coach Chauncey Billups was satisfied with his performance overall.

In contrast to Portland, which is now out of postseason contention due to injuries to four of its top five scorers, Golden State is in a battle for Western Conference playoff placement. Eight of the Warriors’ past nine games have been victories, securing their place in the play-in event. They have an opportunity to close the gap in the last four games of the regular season as they are now in ninth place, half a game behind the Lakers and one game behind the Kings.
