One team looking to make it back into the playoffs for a third straight season is the Los Angeles Lakers. Thanks to the play of LeBron James and the Lakers landing Luka Doncic in a blockbuster trade earlier this season, Los Angeles is on-track to do just that.

The Lakers have become a huge liability for sportsbooks, especially after the Luka Dončić trade. Max Meyer spoke to the books for details.

The Lakers were 15-8 when James and Doncic played. A five-time All-Star, Doncic averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.4 blocks with the Lakers. He finished the regular season strong, putting up 45 points against the Mavericks and 39 points against the Houston Rockets .
