The Golden State Warriors have finally made it to the postseason. For the third time in as many years and the fourth time in its 6 years of existence, the Warriors are bound for the Play-In Tournament.

On Wednesday, the 10th-seeded 37-45 Warriors will be at the Intuit Dome to play the 9th-seeded 42-40 Los Angeles Clippers as they continue their quest to make the playoffs.

If the Warriors manage to win against the Clippers on Wednesday, they would then head to either Phoenix or Portland to play the loser of the Trail Blazers-Suns game on Friday. That game would be a do-or-die, setting up either a first-round matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder or a trip to Cancun for an early start to the offseason.

Before the Warriors can think about any matchup with the Blazers/Suns or the Thunder, they must win this first game against the Clippers.

The Warriors did lose the season series to the Clippers 3-1 after dropping their season finale on Sunday, 115-110. It could be somewhat concerning, considering that the game did not feature Kawhi Leonard for the Clippers, but Steph Curry gave his thoughts and seemed reassured that the Warriors would be able to make it happen when push came to shove.

"It's gonna be fun. I mean, we know who they are. We have played them twice now since the trade deadline. And they're a little faster pace, you know, obviously without Kawhi tonight, but you know what he's about and how well he's been playing. So it's just going to be which team can get a game plan together and stick to that as much as possible. They’re a physical defensive team, they like to switch a lot, so we got to be properly spaced on offense. We had some good stretches tonight, without Draymond. We’re ready to have him back for Wednesday."

Realistically, the season series being 3-1 in favor of the Clippers is a bit of a wash considering the different circumstances each game came with. The first two matchups, including the lone Warriors' win from all the way back in October, were before the trade deadline, meaning both teams looked drastically different.

James Harden played in the first game, and Ivica Zubac took part in both games for the Clippers, while the Warriors had Jimmy Butler on the floor for both of those first two games.

Now, with players like Kristaps Porzingis, Darius Garland, and Bennedict Mathurin mixing in, and guys like Butler, Moses Moody, Harden, Zubac, and even Clippers' rookie Yanic Konan Niederhauser not playing, things are quite different.

One thing on each side will be for certain, though: Steph Curry and Kawhi Leonard are going to be the catalysts.

In the three games Leonard played against the Warriors, he averaged 21.7 points per game, and while that was significantly lower than his season average of 27.9, he was particularly efficient in the Clippers' March win and still had a major impact on the game in their January win due to the attention he garnered from the Warriors' defense.

Curry also played three of the four games against the Clippers, and he averaged slightly better numbers at 23.3 points per game, though that is also below his season average of 26.6. However, Curry averages the 5th-most points against the Clippers out of any Western Conference team in his career at 25.5 points per game across 57 games, so he is absolutely liable to explode.

It's going to be a hard-fought matchup with many different moving parts, but it's sure to be a highly entertaining game either way.
