Could the Lakers fall into the play-in zone despite their star power?

Honestly, I don’t think it’s impossible at all. The West can get messy really fast, and one short losing streak can change the table before anyone notices. I was reading this 1xbet review, and it made a fair point that teams like the Lakers and Timberwolves can’t really relax when others are close behind. I’ve seen this happen with talented teams before: everyone focuses on the names, but home form, bench minutes, defense, and consistency matter just as much. Star power helps in big moments, but it doesn’t automatically protect a team from the play-in race.
