With just 9 games remaining in the regular season, the Lakers have found themselves in possession of the third seed in the West<\/a>. They\u2019re 1.5 games above Denver, 2 games up on Minnesota and 3.5 games over Houston.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve just finished their last big road trip of the season<\/a> beating Indiana, Orlando, Miami, and Houston twice. Their one loss being to Detroit.<\/p>\n

So many memorable moments came from this trip. Luka Doncic was on an absolute tear. He scored 60 against Miami, hit the dagger against Houston and scored no less than 32 points in any of the 6 road games. Luke Kennard also knocked down a huge game winning bucket against the Magic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Lakers have been a pretty good road team all season, sitting with a 24-14 record away from home<\/a>, the third best in the West behind Oklahoma City and San Antonio. Their final three road games include trips to Oklahoma City, Dallas and Golden State.<\/p>\n

Tankathon<\/a> currently ranks the Lakers with the 9th easiest schedule remaining amongst all 30 teams in the NBA. Some notable matchups include OKC twice, Phoenix, and Cleveland.<\/p>\n

The Lakers look to continue to stack wins heading into the postseason with these 9 remaining games starting with the 17-56 Brooklyn Nets at Crypto.Com Arena Friday, March 27th.<\/p>\n
