If the Lakers go 7-3, they will be in the play-in, especially if they win the games against the teams they are fighting position for i.e. OKC, Minnesota, and Utah. Frankly, given they are only 1 loss outside of 6th right now, they'd have a small, but not totally out of question shot, at making the 6th seed if they finished at 42-40 (7-3).
