As long as the remaining healthy roster will be able to compete, they will not be out in the playoff spot until Lebron returns.

per standing, they are 28-14 and for me that's a safe number.. https://ph.global.nba.com/standings/

It was quite a hard one when he has having a good performance just lately having a [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-basketball-news-lakers-lebron-james-reacts-to-being-oldest-player-to-record-consecutive-triple-doubles]back-to-back triple double[/url] and he's the one putting it on that state. I'd say this will be hard for Lakers now that their main players are gone but I think LeBron will surely be fine, I think he's capable of that, ageing might hit him this time or maybe just some mistake.

Knicks got to nab this game from the sixers tonight, with embid out its there is a good shot at a quality win over a team in the East. 

He will not miss the playoffs, but I also dont believe he will be back before 1 month passes. Anthony Davis will definitely return before LeBron. And it will be up to him from what spot Lakers will fight in the playoff.  In next 6-8 games, Lakers will have to play without both of them and that will be very tricky.

Sixers have a much deeper bench and like what you have said they are keep on winning even without Embiid, the question here is how determine both teams.

Sixers to keep thier first spot while with the Knicks they've needed the win to continue the chase of securing their playoff birth.
It's been  a long time for them this season might give them that waited chance.

Really tough might take some spare here either handicap or ML for knicks.

I do not think that would happen this year, he shouldn't force himself because even without him the team is definitely good enough to make it to playoffs. Now they are missing both AD and Lebron together and we see how they will do, I think they will not become bad enough to miss the playoffs, they will still be a playoff level team with the current lineup. Obviously not as good as when those two plays but still enough to make it to playoffs.

When the playoff time comes Lebron will be healed and doing better, and AD hopefully will be better as well, so we are going to see both of them play better because they got a rest during their injury period as well, that should help with such a fatigue filled season with little break. Obviously it is not going to be easy for them, but it is not going to be that difficult neither so I do not think that it should be a problem for them.

The Rockets were so close to breaking the losing streak, but they lost again, and it's already 20 defeats in a row. They will play two games against the Timberwolves in the coming days, and it probably will be a battle for the last place in the league. I hope the Rockets will be able to win them.

Good for the Celtics, hopefully they will start winning again.

Their ranking is going down at rank number 7 now with 21-21 (w-l), I'm not use to seeing them in the rank, they are suppose to be in the top 4 but they really struggle. I'm hoping Smart to be more consistent too, if this team will remain healthy, they still have a good chance of improving their ranking and earn the home court advantage in the Playoffs.

Time to show some of other players what they got but I think Lakers is still competitive without these two and they shouldn't be treated as if they are not a threat. Though we may see they'll struggle I think it will not be that huge feat I think they got some role players out there like KCP, THT (might be the one that got LBJ role), Schroder, Gasol and much more or even Kuzma might take LBJ role.

They are but as I said they will still be a threat and for sure they'll do what they can even just to get that spot in the playoffs.

You’re kidding right? There’s no way they don’t make the playoffs and it’s doubtful LeBron will be out for very long. They’d have to lose their next 7 games in a row to be in danger of falling out of a playoff spot. I think it’s unlikely LeBron will be out that long and even if he was I don’t think they would lose every game without him while the Warriors win every game. They could probably play .400 ball the rest of the season and wind up with a good seed.
