Blazers have to win this game if they want to be in the top 6, if they lose, the Lakers will replace them as for sure Lakers will win against the Pelicans.
I can see now and I believe that Lebron is really back 100% healthy.
Hopefully that the Lakers are now back and shape and they're going to be at their best with their upcoming game/s.
The Lakers are already in the full squad now and they are healthy as well. Not only Lebron is back, but they also have Schroder back in the lineup and we know how good he is so what we are seeing now is the Lakers that are a championship team. They may be not be included in the top 6 but they still have a huge chance of winning even if they will not have the home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
Most likely, they will face the Phoenix suns or the Denver Nuggets, that's a tough series for them but I know they can handle that.
If against the Suns, I think the Lakers would win that, but against the Denver Nuggets, that would be an interesting one and I can't conclude now. Although they lost Murray due to injury there are some players filling his absence and overall, the team is still doing good. I can't wait to see the outcome of the games tomorrow, so we will know the bracketing.
