As of January 7, 2024, the Los Angeles Lakers are looking at a slim 12% chance of advancing to the NBA playoffs.

Despite having a momentous season as well as LeBron James's remarkable achievements, the team has hit a rough patch. 


They have lost 10 out of the past 13 matches, which has seen their ranking drop to the 11th position in the Western Conference standings, putting a severe dent in their playoff chances.

The Lakers' fluctuating performance, problems with injuries, and chemistry issues on the team have played a major role in their unstable playoff outlook. 

The slim 12% chance reflects their current dismal performance and standing. Even though the NBA season is famed for its unpredictability, the path to the playoffs looks to be a steep climb for the Lakers.
