If you currently have a higher points percentage, and it remains higher, you will remain ahead. Math is hard, but it isn't that hard.
Yes, if you have a higher points percentage than another team, but not more points than them, it means you have more games remaining. So in the theoretical scenario in which the points percentage of every team remains the same from now until the end of the regular season, the final standings in total points will be the same as the current standings in points percentage.
