Who would have thought that the Lakers became the biggest beneficiary of the Western chaos at the end of the season, similar to the situation last season, in the final stage of the position grabbing stage, batches of Lakers continued to appear in the east and west, helping the Lakers continue to score points and hit the top eight in the West. Today alone, there are 4 Lakers in the East and West, first of all, James's old club Heat, they defeated the Rockets away today, giving the Rockets 4 consecutive defeats, after losing this game, the gap between the Rockets and the Lakers came to 6 games, and there are only 5 games left in the regular season, and the Rockets have been unable to overtake the Lakers, so the Rockets' loss is equivalent to directly helping the Lakers lock the top 10 in the West, and the Lakers have been determined to get a play-off spot.
Then there are the Mavericks, they beat the Warriors at home in today's game, ending the Warriors' 6-game winning streak, and after losing this game, the gap between the 10th Warriors in the West and the 9th Lakers was expanded to 2 wins, with only 5 games left in the regular season, this gap is already difficult to chase, not to mention that the Warriors will play the Pelicans next, if the Warriors win the Pelicans, it is equivalent to sending the Lakers into the top eight in the West, if the Warriors lose, then it is equivalent to keeping themselves in the tenth place in the West, and the current Warriors are a bit of a dilemma。
Then there is the Spurs, they defeated the Pelicans 111-109 on the road, giving the Pelicans 4 consecutive defeats, after losing this game, the Pelicans are only 1 win ahead of the Lakers, since Ingram's injury, the Pelicans' form is getting worse and worse, losing 5 of the last 6 games, and then they have to play the Suns, Kings, Warriors, either the Pelicans themselves as the Lakers, help the Lakers defeat the Warriors and the Kings, or the Pelicans let the Warriors and Kings be the Lakers, regardless of victory or defeat, it is the Lakers who benefit.
Finally, the Celtics, they narrowly defeated the Kings 101-100 at home, giving the opponent 2 consecutive defeats, after losing this game, the Kings record was tied by the Lakers, as long as the Lakers can beat the Cavaliers tomorrow, then the Lakers can directly overtake the Kings and become the eighth in the West. In the final moments of the season, most of the competitors are losing one after another, and the Lakers themselves have maintained a good form, currently in a three-game winning streak, this time, the Lakers are taking the initiative into their own hands, and the next three home courts, the Lakers really have to grasp it.
The good news is that according to the official injury report, the Cavaliers Dean Wade, Okoro, Bates, and Jerome will not be able to play in the game against the Lakers. In fact, not only do the Lakers' chances of finishing in the top eight in the West increase dramatically, but they even have a chance to challenge for sixth place in the West.
For now, the eighth Kings in the West and the Pelicans in the seventh place in the West are not in good shape, only the Suns in the sixth place in the West are gaining momentum, but the Suns' next schedule is the most difficult, after playing the Timberwolves, the Suns will also play the Pelicans, two games against the Clippers, and then the Kings and the Timberwolves, to some extent, the Suns are the biggest Lakers, if they win in a row, the Lakers' hopes of getting seventh in the West will be greatly increased, if they start to lose in a row, the possibility of the Lakers getting sixth in the West will be greatly increased.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the Lakers themselves have to keep winning, and there are 5 games left in the regular season, it depends on whether the Lakers themselves are competitive, if they can play a wave of 4-1 or even 5 wins, then in fact, no matter where the Lakers end up, fans should believe that they can beat any opponent.
