Currently, the Lakers are the tenth seed in the Western Conference and have a 17-18 record in their first 35 games of the season.

Following the Heat, the Lakers will now host Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday.

Each of their next four games will be at home, where they have gone 11-5, so it’s possible they will be able to turn things around quickly.
