Vegas Over/Under: 33.5
Fromal’s Record Projection: 31-51 The Bet: lean although Prevent under
The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t ready yet.
This team will be made by adding Brook Lopez . So, too, will the inclusion of Lonzo Ball in the starting five and continuing improvement from Brandon Ingram, who looked so far better through the second half of his rookie effort than he did during the first.
We also can not overlook the upside of–takes a deep breath–Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Josh Hart, Julius Randle, Larry Nance Jr., Kyle Kuzma, Ivica Zubac and Thomas Bryant.
But after the additions of recognized contributors with NBA experience such as Lopez and Caldwell-Pope, the Lakers will be committing too many minutes to young players still cutting their teeth in the NBA.
The Vegas line has got the Purple and Gold improving by more than seven games following a year’s 26-56 finish, which is a big ask.
Could it happen? Obviously.
Ball could break out and win Rookie of the Year. Randle can make good on the enduring hype and article triple-doubles more often. Caldwell-Pope could eventually shoot at a clip from beyond the arc. And that is the reason you should avoid this wager.
Butif you had to select, too much about this roster is in flux to wager on an eight-game jump.
