James missed the past two weeks with an abdominal strain, and the Lakers are 3-4 in his absence. Los Angeles is 8-7 on the season and currently in fourth place in the Pacific Division. If the season ended today, Los Angeles would be the seventh seed in the playoffs.
After losing 121-103 at home against the Bulls, the Lakers will embark on a five-game road trip beginning with the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. Despite its struggles, Los Angeles still has the shortest odds to win the Western Conference at +300 and the third shortest odds to win the title at +700.
