The 30: LeBron James will miss the next two games, the Lakers' commitment to being healthy for the playoffs and who should get a bulk of the minutes at center? With Anthony Irwin.

In this episode, Anthony and Jas kick things off by discussing the news that LeBron James will be out for at least the next two games while he deals with some ankle soreness. The Lakers are hanging on to the sixth-seed by a thread, but is it more important to avoid the play-in tournament? or get into the postseason as healthy as can be? With the unprecedented changes to the schedule this season, could the Lakers actually benefit from LeBron and Anthony Davis missing so much time? Anthony and Jas share their thoughts on those questions and talk about why the Lakers are still in a great position going into the playoffs. Following the break, the guys get into which of the play-in teams poses the biggest threat for the Lakers if they wind up finishing as the No. 7 seed. After that, Anthony and Jas discuss head coach Frank Vogel's dilemma on what to do at center and why Marc Gasol might be the best option playing the 5 next to Davis. Learn more about your ad choices.
