Here’s what NBA 2K26 predicts will happen.
Who wins Warriors vs. Suns NBA Play-In Tournament according to NBA 2K26?
Our NBA 2K26 simulation predicts the Phoenix Suns will win against the Golden State Warriors in the Play-In Tournament with a score of 99-88.
The game began at a fast pace, but quickly became a more cautious, defensive contest after the first quarter. Golden State scored 28 points initially, but couldn’t reach that level again in any subsequent quarter. While Phoenix also had offensive difficulties, a solid first half performance provided them with a lead they were able to maintain.
| TEAM | Quarter 1 | Quarter 2 | Quarter 3 | Quarter 4 | FINAL |
| GSW | 28 | 16 | 21 | 23 | 88 |
| PHX | 30 | 25 | 23 | 21 | 99 |
Devin Booker and Jalen Green were the high scorers for the Suns, each with 24 points. While no other player reached 13 points, the game was low-scoring overall, so it didn’t have a significant impact on the outcome.
Despite the Warriors’ loss, Kristaps Porzingis played a strong game, scoring 30 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Steph Curry also contributed with 22 points and 11 rebounds, but their combined efforts weren’t enough for a win.

The Suns bounced back from a Play-In Tournament loss with this victory, securing their spot in the NBA playoffs for the fifth time in six seasons. Their road doesn’t get any easier, though, as they’ll now face the defending champion Thunder in Oklahoma City. Still, the playoffs are full of surprises, and simply making the postseason is a good first step towards a championship run.
The Warriors’ season is over, and they didn’t qualify for the playoffs despite a win against the Clippers. Finishing with a 37-45 record, it’s clear this isn’t the same dominant Warriors team of the past. They may now begin a full rebuild, hoping to compete again by the 2026-2027 season.
That concludes our NBA 2K26 simulation of the Warriors-Suns Play-In game. We hope you enjoyed it, and we’re excited to see how the actual game plays out tonight.
These simulations let us refine our predictions by testing different CPU settings. We’re constantly striving to get better, but it’s impossible to know exactly what will happen. This year’s playoffs were especially unpredictable and full of thrilling plays.
