Western Conference looks stacked as Lakers fight for a play-in spot

Still, the Lakers have a history of success, and with their talented canon, endured guiding staff, and strong organizational backing, they clearly have the eventuality to return in 2023 or any other season. As with any sports platoon, it’ll depend on how they prepare and perform on the field.

With only 13 games left in the season, the Los Angeles Lakers are still looking at the playoff picture. still, after beating New Orleans 123 – 108 on Tuesday, Los Angeles fell back into last place in the Western Conference. Star forward Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 35 points and 17 rebounds on 61.1 firings.

” I just wanted to play especially aggressively tonight, knowing how important this game is. Everyone did it. We played right, played great defense and participated the ball on offense, played together, and worked hard. “

The Lakers( 34- 35, 10th in the West) are just two games behind the fifth-place Golden State soldiers( 36- 33). still, they’re also just three games ahead of the Portland Trail Blazers( 31- 38).

Can the Lakers qualify without Lebron James ?

So, indeed with 12 games remaining, the Lakers still have a great chance of finishing in the overall standings. Likewise, a platoon can still fall out of the picture fully. As for the rest of the schedule for the Lakers, it works in their favor.

Nine of Los Angeles’ last 13 games will be against brigades under.500. This includes two games against Houston, two against Utah, and two against Chicago, as well as matches against Dallas, Orlando, and OKC.

Los Angeles is still short on arms, with star forward LeBron James still out indefinitely with a right leg injury. Meanwhile, Anthony Davis will miss the alternate half of the forthcoming match in a row due to a right leg injury. On Wednesday night, the Lakers will play Houston(15th in the West).

The drift began during the Los Angeles Lakers’ season when they acquired a combination of D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Moo Bamba at the trade deadline.

Now, due to injuries, Lebron’s Lakers have a real chance to climb to the Western Conference playoffs. After starting 2-10 and falling to 13th in the conference before the L.A. rose to 11th place in just seven games. With 19 games remaining, the Lakers are one game behind 1.10 and No. 9 seed, 1.5 games out of 1st place. 8, two games behind the no. 7 and 2.5 games behind no. 6.

None of them seem insurmountable with injuries that have sidelined LeBron James for at least the next three weeks and forced D’Angelo Russell to miss at least four games. After the team’s most recent win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Dennis Schroders speaks on his teams qualification chances

Schroeder spoke via Spectrum SportsNet about his confidence in the Lakers given where they’ve been all season: “We had to make the playoffs at the beginning of the season. And I think everybody in this locker room believes that. I believe it. And I think we’re going to make the playoffs.” For the first time since the salon in the 2020-2021 season, it seems that there is real utility and confidence in the dressing room.

Indeed, because of the injuries, the Lakers are now able to find ways to win games rather than risk losing them. Just this week, they pulled off the NBA’s biggest comeback of the season against the Dallas Mavericks, put up a tough fight against the Memphis Grizzlies without James and Russell, and beat the
Thunder without James, Russell, and Anthony Davis
