Averaging 10.28 points per game, the only game to win is to beat the Rockets, the first to last record in the West, I have to say that the recent performance of the Lakers is a little bad, missing Anthony Davis, the Lakers can lose more, and now it is a little inappropriate to say that the championship is already a bit inappropriate, can they enter the playoffs, and now they may all need to put a question mark?
At present, the Wizards with the eighth record in the East have a win rate of 50%, this win rate can be ranked seventh in the West, in other words, this year's Playoff Quota Competition in the West will be weaker than in the East, the Lakers currently rank seventh in the West, the eighth in the West is the Lone Ranger, the ninth is the Timberwolves, the tenth is the Spurs, the Lone Ranger and the Timberwolves win rate is now only 0.1% lower than the Lakers, the Spurs are 4.8% lower than the Lakers, the gap is not large, which means that they all have the hope to squeeze the Lakers down...
In the last 7 games, the Lone Ranger's record is 7-2 wins, the Timberwolves and Spurs are 7-4 wins, although their performance is not very good, but the good villains will be a little better than the Lakers, according to the performance of the last 7 games, the Lakers are likely to be squeezed to the tenth place in the West, after all, according to the previous US media statistics, the Lakers' next schedule difficulty in the whole league can be ranked first and second, spurs, lone rangers, Timberwolves the difficulty is not as high as they are.
Of course, according to the current performance of the Lakers, the US media ticketball-reference also updated the playoff probability forecast in due course, in their latest prediction, the Warriors, Jazz, and Suns have a probability of entering the playoffs at 100%, followed by the Grizzlies, Nuggets, Lone Rangers, Clippers, Spurs, Timberwolves, the Lakers ranked tenth in this forecast, their probability of entering the playoffs is only 17%, which is 42.8% lower than the Timberwolves, and the Lakers' probability of entering the playoffs is not as good as the Timberwolves This is a very heartfelt prediction, which may also allow us to face up to the current strength of the Lakers?
