9. SGA's Playoff Performance and Lakers' Challenge
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA), a leading MVP candidate, can be maddening to watch due to his reliance on drawing fouls. However, when refs don't fall for his attempts to flail and get to the line early, as seen in the first quarter of a recent game, it can disrupt his rhythm and lead to fewer points. For the Lakers to have any chance against the Thunder, LeBron must maintain offensive efficiency, and Austin Reaves needs to improve, but winning even one game is a monumental task.
