LA Lakers have been regular underperformers over the last four years, consistently going 'unders' on the pre-season total wins market.
Lakers won only 47 games in 2023/24, and the Western Conference is as tough as ever this year.
Davis and Lebron are nearing the end of stellar careers, but they can only carry this lightweight team for so long
Lakers 2024/25 NBA Championship Odds: 31.00
Lakers 2024/25 NBA Western Conference Odds: 15.00
Lakers 2024/25 Division Odds: 6.00
Lakers 2024/25 To make the play offs odds: 1.76
Lakers 2024/25 Regular Season total wins odds over 43.5: 1.87
Whilst still one of the more highly favoured teams in the NBA, last season's performance and being placed 5th in the Pacific Division hasn't helped their odds this season.
Some other markets currently available with some sportsbooks for Lakers fans include:
NBA Coach of the Year Odds, Darvin Ham: 23.00
NBA Regular Season MVP Odds, Anthony Davis: 41.00
