NBA Odds: Lakers Limp into Western Conference Clash in San Antonio
The novelty of dysfunction in Los Angeles is starting to wear off for Lakers fans, but regardless of how much they plea for a successful basketball team, it hasn’t seemed to come. Still, despite their sub-.500 record, the Lakers sit fourth on the NBA futures list with 17/2 odds of winning the championship.

This Wednesday, Lakers fans will get an opportunity to see their faltering juggernaut try their luck against San Antonio, a team that for over a decade has managed to achieve a level of consistency that Kobe Bryant and company could currently only dream of. See for yourself when the Western Conference giants square off.
With Dwight Howard facing injury concerns, Pau Gasol once again at the center of a whirlwind of trade rumors and Steve Nash and Bryant not getting any younger, betting on a team like the Lakers is getting harder and harder. Although questions have arisen as to just how successful they’ll be following their offseason makeover, their NBA odds haven’t dipped alongside lowered expectations.
That the Lakers currently sit tied with the dominant Spurs with 17/2 NBA odds is a testament to how unpredictable the sportsbook can be. Although it’s getting easier and easier to write off the uncharacteristically weak Lake Show, nobody wants to be the first to officially rule them out.
