Several NBA playoff, play-in and division clinching scenarios are in play as part of the league schedule on Friday night. The NBA announced that the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors all have a chance to clinch a playoff spot Friday with a win and some help.

Three days remain in the 2024-25 NBA regular season, and there is still plenty of for grabs in terms of playoff seeding -- especially in the league's wild West -- as every team has two games remaining on its regular-season schedule.

Golden State moved back into the Western Conference’s No. 6 seed after the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Memphis Grizzlies, 141-125, at FedExForum. The Warriors (47-33), coming off a brutal 114-111 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night, entered Thursday half a game behind the Grizzlies and half a game ahead of the Timberwolves.
