Who will Warriors face in first round of playoffs?

Late at night after games, as he waits for the adrenaline to wear off, Steve Kerr watches NBA League Pass. Thanks to its current five-game winning streak, Golden State enters Friday night's game against the Kings with a two-game lead over San Antonio for the Western Conference's top seed. The question is, if the Warriors maintain that No. 1 spot through their final 11 regular-season games, which team they'll face in the opening round of the playoffs. Denver, which has won five of its past seven games, is nursing a one-game lead over the Trail Blazers. Through 16 games with the Blazers, the Bosnian big man is averaging 14.3 points and 8.0 rebounds. The Warriors are 4-0 against the Blazers and 2-1 against the Nuggets, though Kerr's team has yet to face Portland with Nurkic. Kerr drove down to San Jose with his wife, son and assistant coach Bruce Fraser for Arizona's 73-71 loss Thursday to Xavier in the Sweet 16.
