Since trading for Luka Doncic, the Los Angeles Lakers have found themselves as championship contenders in a way that no one expected at the start of the season.
The Minnesota Timberwolves (32-27) and Los Angeles Lakers (35-21) are all set to square off from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Watch out now, the Los Angeles Lakers are now fifth in the West and have gone 8-2 in their last 10 games. They are +900 to win the NBA Championship, and the addition of Luka Doncic has been very nice.
The Lakers are 15-4 in their last 19 games despite multiple disruptions. And the LeBron James-Luka Dončić pairing is just getting started.
