The Warriors are drifting away from the qualification zone
With today's miserable loss to the Pelicans, the Warriors are 1.5 wins away from the 10th-placed Rockets in the West, one win away from the 11th-place Jazz in the West, and are drifting away from the play-in qualification zone. With the current form, the Warriors are very likely to miss the play-in tournament if they don't adjust or make a trade in time. On the other hand, the Jazz are gaining momentum, with a three-game winning streak just 0.5 wins away from the Rockets.
The Clippers are aiming for a top-three finish in the West
The Clippers beat the Raptors today and restarted their winning streak, with a current record of 24-13. With the Timberwolves and Nuggets both losing today, the Clippers are getting closer and closer to them, with the first Timberwolves 2 wins, and the third Nuggets 1 win difference, a wave of consecutive wins or will reach the top of the West, the Clippers' "Northern Expedition" is still continuing.
