The Los Angeles Lakers have 10 games remaining. Seven are against teams with winning records, two are against the New Orleans Pelicans, who are vying to host a potential play-in game against the purple and gold, and the last is against the Thunder... who have beaten the Lakers TWICE this season. They'll head into Wednesday's game with Philly holding a three game lead on San Antonio, and a slightly larger gap over the Portland TrailBlazers, and neither of those teams is working all that hard to get in.So assuming they can qualify, how many games will Anthony Davis need to be a factor for them, and potentially help the Lakers get into, and be competitive in, a first round series against Phoenix? He didn't require much ramp up time after returning from a long absence earlier this season.To say the least, the Lakers have been discombobulated all year long, with players in and out of the lineup. How discombobulated? Let's play a game to quantify it!Finally, ESPN's Dave McMenamin recently wrote a great story about Malik Monk, revealing all sorts of things about his free agency last summer, and how he ended up on the Lakers. Will he be willing to stay? Can the Lakers pay him? What does his career arc say not just about Monk the player and person, but how we look at young players who enter the league?HOSTS; Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Do the Lakers get into the play-in? How shaky is their position?SEGMENT 2: Just how crazy has this season been for the Lakers? Let's play "lineup trivia" to set things straight. Plus, how much time does A.D. need?SEGMENT 3: Malik Monk's time in L.A. has been very good, and represents a major win for him and his young career.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicksCheck out PrizePicks.com and use promo code: “NBA” or go to your app store and download the app today.
