This is the Lakers' situation in the West for the last 7 games left in the season

The NBA Western Conference is becoming a thriller that will probably be decided until the last minute which teams will make it into the playoffs, which teams will go to the Play-In tournaments, and who will be eliminated.

At the moment, the LA Lakers, after yesterday's game results, are in the 9th spot and tied with OKC Thunder with a 37-38 record and have seven games left of the regular season.

In the current West standings the Lakers own tiebreakers over GSW, NOP, and OKC, but do not have tiebreaker over LAC, MIN, DAL. The Lakers remaining schedule is CHI-MIN-HOU-UTA-LAC-PHX-UTA.

Currently, the teams in the Play-In tournament zone are 7.GSW, 8. NOP, 9. LAL, 10.OKC. Currently in the eliminated zone but still close to the Play-In zone are Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz.

The West conference remaining schedules:
