With a week left in the regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers are on the brink of not even reaching the play-in tournament. A gut-punch loss at home to New Orleans on Friday night, in a game in which LeBron James and Anthony Davis returned to the lineup, has Los Angeles a game behind San Antonio for the 10th seed. The Lakers have no room to slip in their final five games, starting with Sunday's matinee at home against the Denver Nuggets.
