lakers are in trouble this year they are heavily relaying on LeBron, playing him in every minute possible because Davis is currently out injured for at least four weeks. Now they cant rest LeBron for the playoffs.
and if they rest him the Lakers would drop down in the standings quick. They’ll prob rest him for a game here and there but they need him now more now than ever they risk not reaching Playoffs rather then just rest him for good.

It's obvious by now, the Lakers are weak and they have been exposed big time. Lebron is not getting any younger although he can still play like it used to be, sooner or later that wear and tear will come into the picture. So no rest for him, means more trouble for the Lakers until Davis play.

I think they can still make the playoffs, but they are going to drop in the standing and will not be the favourite to win back-to-back.

This is the mid season lul, when AD gets back and Lebron turns it up a notch like he always does people will start singing a different tune. Lebron always does this mid season, and people talk about him not being able to "hack it". I'm far from a laker fan (knick fan here) but this is how lebron roles. He is in mid season cruise control right now.

He's been in the league for many years and I also observed the same, even in his team before, his team does not necessarily finish as the number 1 overall best team in the league but in the playoffs they are dominating, so we will probably the same scenario this coming playoffs but I believe without Davis things are also different from our expectation.

Most team turn on the gas when playoffs time, I think lebron already knew that they just have to secure the playoffs spot , because its in the playoffs that matters, your right when davis returns it will be a different team, I like how they are planning for the playoffs, its no use to play Davis in the regular season now, reserving him for the playoffs is the best move.

Lebron's mission now is to win championships after championships. he is already a fulfilled individual player as he already won season MVP but the biggest achievement is always the championship and that's what the Lakers needs to take care in the playoffs.

Davis is still not so consistent, we are still seeing the injury problem that his problem in his previous team, but that's alright, he will be back soon and Lakers will be fully healthy again.

76ers need to really pick up the pace and error is not an option for them right now while the Brooklyn Nets are stealing their number 1 spot.

76ers play good defence. Season is still long. For me so far they are my favourite Eastern team. Nets are missing two key players, but luckily All star break is close.

Nets will likely stay at the number 1 spot, they are so consistent while 76ers have some problem sometimes that resulted a loss. Although the ranking now favors the nets but I think in the playoffs it will be a different story, I'll also back the 76ers to win against the Nets if ever they'll play in the ECF.

Now each team made another win yesterday but because of this the Brooklyn Nets was really nearing leading the standings with the 76ers, It is a big number that the Nets have given on Orlando Magic with 129 - 92 Brooklyn is on their great form even though without Kevin Durant that will be in the break this season because of a hamstring strain, while the 76ers have crushed the opposition with the 111 - 97, Joel Embiid made 23 points for the team and backup points have been made by Ben Simmons and Seth Curry

Lakers is finally back in the winning column as they won against Portland. Lebron put on another show with his team mates rallying behind him racking up great numbers. It would be natural for Lebron to only be played every minute because they lost one of their best players. The season is still early though so I guess they can adjust with the current team without AD playing.

Well both of them are in a losing skid, so it's either one of them will end it tonight.

I think it was a complete game for James after so many games, also, Dennis Schroder is back and that is huge as he contributed 22 points in his comeback game.

It's not natural though for James to played every minute, prior to AD being injured he has a good rest every end of the quarter to start fresh, so this strategy might not be a good idea in the long run.

Schroder is the big difference here, we all know that he is really a good trade for the Lakers, that's why when he got injured they misses him a lot. Congrats to them for making it to the win column and stop the bleeding for now. And I think James wanted this win really bad that he had played a well round game, 4 steals and 3 block shots to go with his 28 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. Harrell also played quality this time, with a big 17 points and nine rebounds.

So Schroder is back and Lakers up by 9 at the 3rd quarter.
They are back offensively and defensively. I hope this will end the losing streak of the Lakers.

Butler did it again!
Winning against a strong Utah Jazz is a difficult task but he did it.
Almost a triple double lacking 2 more assists but he did almost everything for Miami Heat especially at the end of the game.

Correct LeBron can't carry the team every game, Kuzma should know it by now, he had stayed with LeBron for a couple of seasons he should step up, but for the past two season kyle Kuzma body build doesn't even add any muscle he is getting thinner I don't know what he wants but if he wan't to be a star in lakers he should step up, I'm beginning to think that Brandon Ingram should be the one that stays not kyle.

Walton and Dwane Casey are both +250 according to Sportsbook.AG

Honestly, I didn't even expect that betting sites have betting on this probability. Cheesy

It's funny bets, but Walton signed a 4-years contract with the Kings, and I think that these nine defeats can't be the main reason for his dismissal. Anyway, the Kings may have a good chance to break this losing streak tonight, considering that they will play against the Pistons.

Indeed. Knicks was playing top basketball last night and they deserved that win especially that they had fans in the arena. I'm surprised that Kings Coach hasn't been fired yet but I do expect this to happen until next week as Kings are playing the worst basketball I ever saw in some years... .

My ticket was ruined by Nuggets as I have them to win Q4 and +6 the game but Murray decided to pass the ball instead of shooting 3 point...and game ended.

Wow! not wow... I didn't know that Kings are already in 9 losings streak. I thought they are legit, they had a good start and now they are almost at the bottom, I can understand if the coach will get fired, I guess the same with the Rockets as they are tied with the kings in longest losing streak this season.

It is really upsetting to see Nets not even having all the trio, people keep saying that "nets are looking great" but the reality is that they are rarely ever healthy together, how many games did Irving-Harden-Durant played together? I mean I do not know how many games exactly but I know that they haven't played much, the latest one was "once a week" so far on average together, which is why I think we haven't seen anything close to 100% at all.

Think about it when they have Irving - Harden - Joe Harris - Durant - Deandre Jordan, when you have this kind of starting five, it is really impossible for you to end up being underdogs to any team, that is the best starting five in the whole league, sure they need more depth but that is doesn't mean that they are not going to destroy everyone with a good rotation that keeps one of those trio in the game at all times. Playoffs are not near but they still need to gain that injury situation under control.

Honestly I can't see them losing in a 7 games series to anyone in the East. You might beat them a game or 2 but who is going to beat them 4 times before they do? Philly? Milwaukee? Can't see it happening. Might be throwing at least an eastern conf Champs bet down on them before it doesn't make sense cost wise. Now there are a coue teams out west that might give them fits.

The Yahoo! sports mobile app is having another free preview. Several of today’s games are being offered to stream today. First time LaMelo Ball has been watchable for free nationally that I’m aware of. His matchup with Stephen Curry tonight might be a good one to see. Hope that helps somebody have some fun!

It is a true thing that they will be so much better than this and become literally unstoppable with a starting five like that. They manage to beat their opponents while even struggling with injury problems. They have a 8-win streak right now. I can't imagine how awesome they will be after KD is back also.
