Last year, Luka Doncic saved the Los Angeles Lakers after arriving in a midseason trade from Dallas.
The Lakers were going nowhere fast, but Doncic sparked them to the NBA betting postseason.
Certainly, the baton is being passed from LeBron James to Doncic as the franchise's marquee man. So far, the Lakers look like a playoff team.
The San Antonio Spurs have a matinee idol of their own in Victor Wembanyama, who is transforming the franchise into a serious contender again.
Concurrently, Wemby was the first player taken in the 2023 NBA Draft and is making a profound impact.
Not only are the Lakers a draw to the betting window, but the marquee men on the court and the ESPN telecast will generate massive betting activity.
