The Lakers have added Luka Dončić and Mark Williams over the past week. Is that enough for a title push?
The Los Angeles Lakers’ NBA Finals odds have improved again.
The Lakers are now the No. 4 favorite to win the Finals following their late-night move to add center Mark Williams from the Hornets. The Lakers reportedly traded rookie Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish and their 2031 first-round pick for Williams.
According to BetMGM, Los Angeles’ odds are currently +1200 just hours before the NBA’s trade deadline. The Lakers are likely done making moves after trading both their 2029 and 2031 first-round picks along with multiple players from the roster including Anthony Davis. With Luka Dončić set to return to the court on Saturday, the Lakers could have a starting lineup of LeBron James, Dončić, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Williams.
