15. Los Angeles Lakers (25-24)

The Los Angeles Lakers are absolutely bleeding and the only thing that will likely stop the hurting is a return from LeBron James. I suppose it also doesn’t help that Lonzo Ball will miss the next few weeks, but LeBron is the straw that stirs this drink.

At the same time, Los Angeles will likely be active at the NBA Trade Deadline. Short of landing a star, the Lakers are widely expected to add a 3-point shooter to their roster for the stretch run. Who will it be?

Well, that’s anyones guess. Though, I feel like Wayne Ellington makes a ton of sense for this team. Can they make it happen?
