Where Warriors, Kings stand in NBA power rankings entering lively 2025-26 season
The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings appear to be at different ends of the spectrum entering the 2025-26 NBA season.
In the nightcap on NBC, the Warriors will visit the Lakers in Los Angeles. The league completely eschewed the Eastern Conference on its first showcase night in four months, indicating it understands something many fans have felt for some time now: The West is the far better conference.

The six group winners plus a wild card from each conference — determined by head-to-head record and point differential — go into an eight-team knockout round bracket (East vs. East, West vs. West, similar to the NBA playoffs where the conferences are separate until the Finals). The knockout round games are single-elimination.
