Both LA teams and the Blazers need to hurdle 2-3 deficits in their respective series. Odds of them pulling off a series comeback are not that good. Trivia from the net: out of 211 times that an NBA playoff series has been tied 2-2 since 1984 (when the current playoff format was adopted), the loser of Game 5 was eventually eliminated 174 out of 211 times. The last team to overcome this 2-3 deficit was the 2019 Blazers (over Denver, even winning Game 7 on the road).
