Will the Los Angeles Lakers finish the 2025-26 regular season as a top-4 seed in the Western Conference?

Context: The Lakers finished as the 3rd seed last season. With Doncic, LeBron James, and new additions, they're expected to be competitive. However, the Western Conference is deep with Oklahoma City, Denver, Houston, and other strong teams.

Resolution: Market resolves YES if the Lakers finish the regular season ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th in the Western Conference standings. Market resolves NO if they finish 5th or lower. Check final standings at NBA.com.
