The Lakers lost all three games through Week 18, winning just 11 of their first 60 games.
They'll play another four through Week 19, hosting the Brooklyn Nets (17-42), Atlanta Hawks (33-27) and Golden State Warriors (53-5), along with a visit to the Denver Nuggets (23-36).
Tuesday vs. Brooklyn Nets
The Nets are one of the worst teams in the league, still "competing" with the Lakers for NBA draft lottery position. The Lakers are better served losing, to try and protect their 2016 pick, which will go to the Philadelphia 76ers if it's not a top-three selection (as part of the Steve Nash deal).
