Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in Trevor Lane here for Lakers Nation.com with a little bonus

Lakers Nation podcast. We have a bunch of questions and comments from fans coming in. So I'm

going to open up the mailbag, but also want to talk a little bit about where the Lakers

currently sit in the standings, what needs to happen. Obviously, game today against the Houston

Rockets, maybe goes without saying you got to win that one. You can't drop another game to the Houston Rockets, maybe goes without saying, you got to win that one.

You can't drop another game to the Houston Rockets. We know what happened last time when the Lakers played

them. Sounds like the Lakers should have a full team, though, Anthony Davis showing up on the injury

report as probable to play. Great sign after that scary, scary moment in their there went against the wolves that looked like perhaps

the Lakers season was over for about a minute and a half there. We thought Anthony Davis turned

his ankle again and he might have been done. He was in a lot of pain. And now he's good to go for

this next game. And he came back and dominated the Minnesota Timberwolves. So exciting stuff there.

LeBron James looks like he should be able to play in this one as well.

Again, he's listed as questionable, but that's what he's going to be listed as for every

single game for the remainder of the season list.

That is my prediction.

But we've got a lot to talk about here, a lot of things to get into.

I want to start by taking a quick peek at the standings.

Now, every day over on my Twitter account at Trevor underscore Lane, I put out what Lakers

fans should be rooting for, what matchups around the NBA, how you should want to see them go.

And every day, I do get people who disagree with some of my picks in terms of what I would

like to see happen for the Lakers.

But this is what happened.
