Even without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Los Angeles Lakers are treading nice water with about a month left in the NBA regular season.
Starting point guard Dennis Schroder has warned the rest of the league that his team will once again wreak havoc.

Schroder did a good job keeping the Purple and Gold afloat while recovering two superstar teammates from injuries.
On Saturday, the German native gave up 25 points, six rebounds and eight assists in an exciting overtime win over the Utah Jazz.
After former All-Star center Andre Drummond was acquired from the buyout market, the Lakers possessed extraordinary depth beyond James and Davis.
The team has been deeper and more talented than last year when it won the NBA Championship, thanks to Schroder and Montrezl Harrell.
Davis is reportedly days away from returning from a calf strain, while James is reportedly likely to return at the end of April from a severe high ankle strain.
