The Los Angeles Lakers have taken care of business, and now it’s time to rest. After clinching the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference with a win over the Houston Rockets on Friday, April 11, the Lakers head into their regular-season finale against the Portland Trail Blazers with no weight on their shoulders.

As for the Blazers franchise, it would benefit from losing on Sunday. Out are Anfernee Simons, Jerami Grant, Scoot Henderson, Deandre Ayton and Robert Williams III. Shaedon Sharpe is questionable and Deni Avdija (right thumb sprain) is doubtful.

On Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles Lakers will play the Portland Trail Blazers (in Oregon). For the game, they will be without one of their best players, as Luka Doncic has been ruled out. The superstar forward is averaging 28.

The Los Angeles Lakers will travel to Oregon to face the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center. It will be the final regular-season game as we continue our NBA odds series with a Lakers-Trail Blazers prediction and pick.
