The Lakers are 3-1 when LeBron doesn't play. They beat the Trailblazers, Kings, and Pacers. The loss was to the Timberwolves.
There's a recent ESPN+ article titled - "LeBron is having a historic run of bad luck -- let's find out why". I don't have ESPN+, but I was able to read the article, because a user posted it on another forum. It's an interesting read. I'm sure there is some bad luck involved. LeBron does play a lot of minutes with bench players who are not very good. But the fact is the Lakers net rating is better with LeBron on the bench. The Lakers are playing better this season without LeBron on the floor.

Are we really stooping that low to say that the team is better without LeBron on the floor? I don’t even know what to say
