Los Angeles Lakers
It’s no surprise to see the Los Angeles Lakers on this list, considering they’re a team that has vastly under-preformed over the last few weeks. Even though that was in large part to LeBron James missing more than a month and Lonzo Ball for the past few weeks, the Lakers entered the NBA All-Star out of the top 8 in the Western Conference.
They are three games back of the final playoff spot at the moment, and are behind both the Los Angeles Clippers and Kings in the standings. There have even been reports that LeBron is out of shape, due to the fact that he was out of action for so long with his hamstring injury.
Will LeBron kick it into turbo over the next few weeks to do whatever it costs to push the Lakers into the playoffs, or will the Lakers continue to struggle their way towards the playoffs?
